摘要:
A low forward voltage drop transient voltage suppressor utilizes a low-reverse-voltage-rated PN diode electrically connected in parallel to a high-reverse-voltage-rated Schottky rectifier in a single integrated circuit device. The transient voltage suppressor is ideally suited to fix the problem of high forward voltage drop of PN diodes and high leakage of low reverse breakdown of Schottky rectifiers. The low-reverse-voltage PN rectifier can be fabricated through methods such as 1) double layers of epi (with higher concentration layer epi in the bottom) or 2) punch through design of PN diode by base with compression.

A multiple layer overvoltage protection device is provided. The method begins by providing a substrate having a first impurity concentration of a first conductivity type to define a mid-region layer. A dopant of a second conductivity type is introduced into the substrate with a second impurity concentration less than the first impurity concentration. An upper base region having a second type of conductivity is formed on the upper surface of the mid-region layer. A lower base region layer having a second type of conductivity is formed on a lower surface of the mid-region layer. A first emitter region having a first type of conductivity is formed on a surface of the upper base region layer. A first metal contact is coupled to the upper base region layer and a second metal contact is coupled to the lower base region layer.

A bi-directional transient voltage suppression device and a method of making same is provided. The method begins by providing a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, and depositing a first epitaxial layer of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type on the substrate. The substrate and the first epitaxial layer form a first p-n junction. A second epitaxial layer having the second conductivity type is deposited on the first epitaxial layer. The second epitaxial layer has a higher dopant concentration than the first epitaxial layer. A third layer having the first conductivity type is formed on the second epitaxial layer. The second epitaxial layer and the third layer form a second p-n junction.

摘要:
A method is provided of making a semiconductor wafer for a semiconductor junction diode device having a target forward voltage drop and a target reverse breakdown voltage. The method begins by doping a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type through the back surface with a first dopant of the first conductivity type in an amount sufficient to form a semiconductor junction diode device having a target forward voltage drop. Next, the substrate is doped through the front surface with a second dopant of the first conductivity type in an amount sufficient to form the semiconductor junction diode device such that it has a target reverse breakdown voltage.
