    摘要: The present disclosure relates to isolated Zener diodes (100) that are substantially free of substrate current injection when forward biased. In particular, the Zener diodes (100) include an “isolation tub” structure that includes surrounding walls (150, 195) and a base (130) formed of semiconductor regions. In addition, the diodes (100) include silicide block (260) extending between anode (210) and cathode (220) regions. The reduction or elimination of substrate current injection overcomes a significant shortcoming of conventional Zener diodes that generally all suffer from substrate current injection when they are forward biased. Due to this substrate current injection, the current from each of a conventional diode's two terminals is not the same.

    摘要: Particularly in high current applications, impact ionization induced electron-hole pairs are generated in the drain of an MOS transistor that can cause a parasitic bipolar transistor to become destructively conductive. The holes pass through the body region of the MOS transistor, which has intrinsic resistance, to the source, which is typically held at a relatively low voltage, such as ground. The hole current causes a voltage to develop in the body region, which acts as the base. This increased base voltage is what can cause the parasitic bipolar transistor to become conductive. The likelihood of this is greatly reduced by developing a voltage between the source, which acts as the emitter, and the body region by passing the channel current through an impedance between the source and the body region. This causes the emitter voltage to increase as the base voltage is increased and thereby prevent the parasitic bipolar transistor from becoming conductive.
