Abstract:
A vertical bidirectional protection diode including, on a heavily-doped substrate of a first conductivity type, first, second, and third regions of the first, second, and first conductivity types, these regions all having a doping level greater than from 2 to 5×1019 atoms/cm3 and being laterally delimited by an insulated trench, each of these regions having a thickness smaller than 4 μm.
Abstract:
A structure including at least one electronic component formed in a semiconductor stack comprising a heavily-doped buried silicon layer of a first conductivity type extending on a lightly-doped silicon substrate of a second conductivity type and a vertical insulating trench surrounding the component. The trench penetrates, into the silicon substrate, under the silicon layer, down to a depth greater than the thickness of the space charge region in the silicon substrate.
Abstract:
A bidirectional protection component formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type including a first implanted area of the first conductivity type, an epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type on the substrate and the first implanted area, a second area of the first conductivity type on the external side of the epitaxial layer, in front of the first area, and implanted with the same dose as the first area, a first metallization covering the entire lower surface of the substrate, and a second metallization covering the second area.
Abstract:
An asymmetrical bidirectional protection component formed in a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, including: a first implanted area of the first conductivity type; a first epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type on the substrate and the first implanted area; a second epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type on the first epitaxial layer, the second layer having a doping level different from that of the first layer; a second area of the first conductivity type on the outer surface of the epitaxial layer, opposite to the first area; a first metallization covering the entire lower surface of the substrate; and a second metallization covering the second area.
