Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of a Schottky barrier diode (100). This Schottky barrier diode can be formed in a semiconductor substrate (101) having a doped region (110) with a first conductivity type. A trench isolation structure (120) can laterally surround a section (111) of the doped region at the top surface (102) of the substrate. A semiconductor layer (150) can be positioned on the top surface of the substrate. This semiconductor layer can have a Schottky barrier portion (151) over the defined section (111) of the doped region and a guardring portion (152) over the trench isolation structure laterally surrounding the Schottky barrier portion. The Schottky barrier portion can have the first conductivity type and the guarding portion can have a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. A metal silicide layer (140) can overlie the semiconductor layer. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of forming this Schottky barrier diode and of a design structure for the Schottky barrier diode.
Abstract:
A Schottky barrier diode comprises a first-type substrate (100), a second-type well isolation region (102) on the first-type substrate, and a first-type well region (110) on the second-type well isolation region. With embodiments herein a feature referred to as a perimeter capacitance well junction ring (106) is on the second-type well isolation region. A second-type well region (104) is on the second-type well isolation region. The perimeter capacitance well junction ring is positioned between and separates the first-type well region and the second-type well region. A second-type contact region (108) is on the second-type well region, and a first-type contact region (112) contacts the inner portion of the first-type well region. The inner portion of the first-type well region is positioned within the center of the first-type contact region. Additionally, a first ohmic metallic layer (124) is on the first- type contact region and a second ohmic metallic layer (126) is on the first-type well region. The first ohmic metallic layer contacts the second ohmic metallic layer at a junction that makes up the Schottky barrier of the Schottky barrier diode.

Abstract:
Es sind Ausführungsformen einer Schottky-Barrieren-Diode (100) offenbart. Diese Schottky-Barrieren-Diode kann in einem Halbleitersubstrat (101) ausgebildet sein, das einen dotierten Bereich (110) mit einem ersten Leitfähigkeitstyp aufweist. Eine Grabenisolationsstruktur (120) kann einen Teilbereich (111) des dotierten Bereichs an der Oberseite (102) des Substrats seitlich umgeben. Auf der Oberseite des Substrats kann eine Halbleiterschicht (150) angeordnet sein. Diese Halbleiterschicht kann einen Schottky-Barrierenanteil (151) über dem definierten Teilbereich (111) des dotierten Bereichs und einen Schutzringelektrodenanteil (152) über der Grabenisolationsstruktur aufweisen, der den Schottky-Barrierenanteil seitlich umgibt. Der Schottky-Barrierenanteil kann den ersten Leitfähigkeitstyp aufweisen, und der Schutzringelektrodenanteil kann einen zweiten Leitfähigkeitstyp aufweisen, der sich von dem ersten Leitfähigkeitstyp unterscheidet. Über der Halbleiterschicht kann eine Metallsilicidschicht (140) liegen. Außerdem sind Ausführungsformen eines Verfahrens zum Bilden dieser Schottky-Barrieren-Diode und einer Entwurfsstruktur für die Schottky-Barrieren-Diode offenbart.
