随着半导体工艺技术能力不断向上提升,许多功率元件均大量采用二极管形式的组件,例如,PN结二极管(PN junction)就常应用于交流发电机系统中,做为整流二极管之用。PN结二极管的优点在于反向漏电流低;但其主要缺点在于顺向偏压(forward voltage;VF)较高,在正常运行条件下,顺向偏压约在1V左右,因此使得PN结二极管在应用上产生较多的能量浪费。With the continuous improvement of semiconductor process technology capabilities, many power components use a large number of components in the form of diodes. For example, PN junction diodes (PN junction) are often used in alternator systems as rectifier diodes. The advantage of the PN junction diode is that the reverse leakage current is low; but its main disadvantage is that the forward bias (forward voltage; VF) is high. Under normal operating conditions, the forward bias voltage is about 1V, so the PN junction diode More energy waste is generated in the application.

另外,萧基二极管(Schottky Diode)可视为另一种二极管元件之选择;而萧基二极管的优势在于其顺向偏压远小于PN结二极管;然而萧基二极管却会在反向运行时产生相当大的漏电流,因此,萧基二极管在高温环境的运行下,其高反向漏电是极大的缺点。In addition, a Schottky diode (Schottky Diode) can be regarded as another choice of diode components; the advantage of a Schottky diode is that its forward bias voltage is much smaller than that of a PN junction diode; however, a Schottky diode will generate Considerable leakage current, therefore, the high reverse leakage of Schottky diodes is a great disadvantage under the operation of high temperature environment.

请参阅图1,本发明提供一种应用于高温条件下的整流器1,整流器1具有在高温运行条件下的高效率以及在高反向电压运行时具有高可靠度的功效,整流器1包括一导电型半导体基材10、导电型外延层11、多个导电型掺杂区域12A、一边缘导电型掺杂区域12B、至少一外缘导电型掺杂区域12C、一第一金属层13、以及一第二金属层15(请同时参阅图1A及图1B)。Please refer to Fig. 1, the present invention provides a kind of rectifier 1 that is applied under high temperature condition, and rectifier 1 has high efficiency under high temperature operating condition and has the effect of high reliability when operating at high reverse voltage, and rectifier 1 comprises a conductive type semiconductor substrate 10, a conductivity type epitaxial layer 11, a plurality of conductivity type doped regions 12A, an edge conductivity type doped region 12B, at least one outer edge conductivity type doped region 12C, a first metal layer 13, and a The second metal layer 15 (please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B at the same time).

图1显示本发明的具体实施例,其中导电型半导体基材10为一N型的半导体基材,导电型外延层11也为一N型外延层,且根据掺杂浓度的不同,导电型半导体基材10以N+来表示,而导电型外延层11则以N来表示。另一方面,导电型掺杂区域12A、边缘导电型掺杂区域12B、外缘导电型掺杂区域12C则均为一P+掺杂区域。Fig. 1 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention, wherein conduction type semiconductor substrate 10 is an N-type semiconductor substrate, conduction type epitaxial layer 11 is also an N type epitaxial layer, and according to the difference of doping concentration, conduction type semiconductor The substrate 10 is represented by N+, and the conductive epitaxial layer 11 is represented by N. On the other hand, the conductivity type doped region 12A, the edge conductivity type doped region 12B, and the outer edge conductivity type doped region 12C are all P+ doped regions.

请再参考图1,并配合图1A,其为图1的A-A′的剖视图,导电型外延层11成形于导电型半导体基材10上,而所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A则成形于导电型外延层11中,所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A为分布于导电型外延层11中的P型岛区域,所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A的形状可为四边形(例如矩形)、圆形或六边形,且导电型掺杂区域12A被一第一金属层13所覆盖,因此整流器1可通过第一金属层13所形成的低萧基屏障(low schottkybarrier),以使得整流器1具有低顺向电压(VF)的特性。Please refer to FIG. 1 again, and in conjunction with FIG. 1A, which is a cross-sectional view of A-A' in FIG. In the conduction type epitaxial layer 11, the plurality of conduction type doped regions 12A are P-type island regions distributed in the conduction type epitaxial layer 11, and the shape of the plurality of conduction type doped regions 12A can be a quadrangle (such as a rectangle ), circular or hexagonal, and the conductivity-type doped region 12A is covered by a first metal layer 13, so the rectifier 1 can pass through the low Schottky barrier formed by the first metal layer 13, so that The rectifier 1 has a characteristic of low forward voltage (VF).

另一方面,导电型外延层11与所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A的结构可以形成相当于PN结二极管的反向电压运行的漏电特性,也即整流器1具有相当低的漏电流,使得本发明的整流器1相当适合用于高温的运行环境,简言之,本发明的整流器1为一种低压、低逆向漏电流的整流器。On the other hand, the structure of the conductivity type epitaxial layer 11 and the plurality of conductivity type doped regions 12A can form a leakage characteristic equivalent to the reverse voltage operation of a PN junction diode, that is, the rectifier 1 has a relatively low leakage current, so that The rectifier 1 of the present invention is quite suitable for high temperature operating environment. In short, the rectifier 1 of the present invention is a rectifier with low voltage and low reverse leakage current.

再者,请参考图1、图1B(为图1的B-B′的剖视图)及图1C,其中导电型外延层11中更包括有一边缘导电型掺杂区域12B及至少一个外缘导电型掺杂区域12C,边缘导电型掺杂区域12B围绕所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A,也即导电型掺杂区域12A设置于边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的内侧,且第一金属层13则接触边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的一部分,换言之,第一金属层13的外缘会向外延伸出所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A的区域,以和围绕于所述多个导电型掺杂区域12A外侧的边缘导电型掺杂区域12B相接触,而第一金属层13与边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的接触区域可依据实际的工艺进行调整,第一金属层13至少覆盖一部分的边缘导电型掺杂区域12B,例如第一金属层13可覆盖边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的面积的一部分或是全部,最佳为边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的面积的二分之一。第一金属层13与边缘导电型掺杂区域12B进行电性接触可减少累积于整流器1边缘的电场,以避免过高的电场使得整流器1损坏。Furthermore, please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 1B (the cross-sectional view of B-B' in FIG. 1) and FIG. 1C, wherein the conductivity type epitaxial layer 11 further includes an edge conductivity type doped region 12B and at least one outer edge conductivity type doped region 12B. In the region 12C, the edge conduction type doped region 12B surrounds the plurality of conduction type doped regions 12A, that is, the conduction type doped region 12A is disposed inside the edge conduction type doped region 12B, and the first metal layer 13 contacts A part of the edge conduction type doped region 12B, in other words, the outer edge of the first metal layer 13 will extend outwards from the region of the plurality of conduction type doped regions 12A, and surround the plurality of conduction type doped regions 12A. The edge conduction type doped region 12B outside the region 12A is in contact, and the contact area between the first metal layer 13 and the edge conduction type doped region 12B can be adjusted according to the actual process. The first metal layer 13 covers at least a part of the edge conduction type Type doped region 12B, for example, the first metal layer 13 may cover a part or all of the area of edge conduction type doped region 12B, preferably half of the area of edge conduction type doped region 12B. The electrical contact between the first metal layer 13 and the edge conductive type doped region 12B can reduce the electric field accumulated at the edge of the rectifier 1 , so as to prevent the rectifier 1 from being damaged due to excessive electric field.

其中图1B显示仅有一个外缘导电型掺杂区域12C,其尺寸可以是工艺最小线宽;而图1C则显示有两个外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的结构,每一个外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的尺寸同样为工艺最小线宽;图1D则显示一个较宽的外缘导电型掺杂区域12C,其尺寸为工艺最小线宽的两倍以上,换言之,本发明所提出的整流器1可依实际的情况调整外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的数量、尺寸。1B shows that there is only one doped region 12C of the outer conductivity type, and its size can be the minimum line width of the process; while FIG. 1C shows a structure with two doped regions 12C of the outer conductivity type, each of which is of the outer conductivity type The size of the doped region 12C is also the minimum line width of the process; FIG. 1D shows a wider peripheral conductivity type doped region 12C, the size of which is more than twice the minimum line width of the process. In other words, the rectifier proposed by the present invention 1. The quantity and size of the peripheral conductivity type doped region 12C can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的外观形式也必须进一步考虑,以避免电场累积的问题导致元件的损坏,以本实施例来说,边缘导电型掺杂区域12B具有四边形的形状,且四边形的边缘导电型掺杂区12B具有非直角的角落(corner),以避免电场在直角的位置上场产生电场累积,而为了光掩模设计等考虑,本实施例中的四边形的边缘导电型掺杂区12B具有圆弧状的角落R,但不以上述为限,例如边缘导电型掺杂区12B可为六边形的形式,而每一个角落也可设计成圆弧状,同样可避免电场累积对元件的影响。另外,第一金属层13的外观最佳地对应于边缘导电型掺杂区12B,换言之,第一金属层13可为四边形或六边形,且第一金属层13同样具有圆弧状(或非直角)的角落R,也即从俯视图观看,边缘导电型掺杂区12B与第一金属层13具有圆弧状的角落R。The appearance of the edge conduction type doped region 12B must also be further considered to avoid the problem of electric field accumulation causing damage to the element. In this embodiment, the edge conduction type doped region 12B has a quadrangular shape, and the quadrangular edges are conductive type doped region 12B has a non-right-angled corner (corner), to avoid electric field accumulation in the electric field at a right-angled position, and for the consideration of photomask design, etc., the quadrilateral edge conduction-type doped region 12B in this embodiment has The arc-shaped corner R, but not limited to the above, for example, the edge conduction type doped region 12B can be in the form of a hexagon, and each corner can also be designed to be arc-shaped, which can also avoid the electric field accumulation on the element Influence. In addition, the appearance of the first metal layer 13 best corresponds to the edge conduction type doped region 12B. In other words, the first metal layer 13 can be quadrilateral or hexagonal, and the first metal layer 13 also has an arc shape (or (non-right angle) corner R, that is, viewed from a top view, the edge conductive type doped region 12B and the first metal layer 13 have a circular arc-shaped corner R.

另一方面,外缘导电型掺杂区域12C成形于导电型外延层11中且围绕边缘导电型掺杂区域12B,外缘导电型掺杂区域12C并未与第一金属层13接触,请参考图1B,一隔离层14覆盖在外缘导电型掺杂区域12C上,以及未被第一金属层13接触的边缘导电型掺杂区域12B,而外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的外型也对应于边缘导电型掺杂区域12B,也即其具有圆弧状(或非直角)的角落,外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的功能在于提供一种较为平缓的电场分布,同样可在反向电流运行的情况下,提供保护整流器1的功能;再者,外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的数量(如图1B、图1C)及尺寸宽度(如图1D)均可依照应用面的需求进行调整,以期提供更为平缓的电场分布。综合上述的结构,本发明的特征在于加强防止反向突波对于整流器1的冲击(Reversesurge),而本发明利用第一金属层13接触边缘导电型掺杂区12B的一部分、圆弧状角落的结构设计、以及外缘导电型掺杂区域12C的设置等结构,以降低反向运行时对于元件边缘的损坏现象。On the other hand, the outer conduction type doped region 12C is formed in the conduction type epitaxial layer 11 and surrounds the edge conduction type doped region 12B, the outer conduction type doped region 12C is not in contact with the first metal layer 13, please refer to 1B, an isolation layer 14 covers the outer conductive type doped region 12C and the edge conductive type doped region 12B not in contact with the first metal layer 13, and the outer shape of the outer conductive type doped region 12C is also corresponding In the edge conduction type doped region 12B, that is, it has arc-shaped (or non-right-angled) corners, the function of the outer edge conduction type doped region 12C is to provide a relatively gentle electric field distribution, which can also be used in the reverse current In the case of operation, the function of protecting the rectifier 1 is provided; moreover, the number of outer conductive doped regions 12C (as shown in Figure 1B and Figure 1C) and the size and width (as shown in Figure 1D) can be adjusted according to the requirements of the application surface , in order to provide a smoother electric field distribution. Based on the above-mentioned structure, the feature of the present invention is to strengthen the impact (Reversesurge) of preventing the reverse surge on the rectifier 1, and the present invention utilizes the first metal layer 13 to contact a part of the edge conduction type doped region 12B, the arc-shaped corner Structural design, and the setting of the outer edge conductive type doped region 12C and other structures, so as to reduce the damage to the edge of the element during reverse operation.

再者,导电型外延层11上的隔离层14,其覆盖于外缘导电型掺杂区域12C及边缘导电型掺杂区域12B的一部分(请注意图1中并未绘制出隔离层14),隔离层14主要避免后续的封装工艺使外缘导电型掺杂区域12C导通;而导电型半导体基材10的背面更成形有一第二金属层15,第二金属层15主要作为电极之用。Moreover, the isolation layer 14 on the conductivity type epitaxial layer 11 covers a part of the peripheral conductivity type doped region 12C and the edge conductivity type doped region 12B (please note that the isolation layer 14 is not drawn in FIG. 1 ), The isolation layer 14 mainly prevents the subsequent encapsulation process from conducting the peripheral conductivity-type doped region 12C; and the backside of the conductivity-type semiconductor substrate 10 is formed with a second metal layer 15, and the second metal layer 15 is mainly used as an electrode.
