Junction field effect transistor and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit design and manufacture, and particularly relates to a junction field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, for example, computers and peripheral digital products are increasingly updated. In the application integrated circuit of computer and peripheral digital products, due to the rapid development of semiconductor process, the power supply of the integrated circuit is required to be more diversified, and voltage regulators with various combinations, such as voltage boosters, voltage reducers, etc., are used to realize different power supply requirements of various integrated circuits, and are also one of the important factors for providing various digital products.
Among various voltage regulation circuits, Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) have become an excellent choice for a preceding-stage voltage regulator because of their extremely convenient voltage regulation performance. The junction field effect transistor has a larger gate current than the metal-oxide layer-semiconductor field effect transistor, but a smaller gate current than the bipolar transistor. Meanwhile, the transconductance of the junction field effect transistor is higher than that of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor, so that the junction field effect transistor is used in some low-noise and high-input-impedance operational amplifiers.
The Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) adopts a PN junction as a grid of a device to control the opening and the closing of a channel, when negative bias of the PN junction is applied to the grid, two sides of the PN junction are exhausted, and when the channel is completely exhausted, the device is in a channel pinch-off state, and the device is closed. On the other hand, when no voltage is applied to the gate or a voltage for forward biasing the PN junction is applied to the gate, the depletion region is narrowed, the channel region is widened, and the device is in an on state.
High voltage Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) need to withstand high voltages and therefore the drift region (distance between drain and gate) is long. Taking an N-channel high-voltage Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) as an example, applying negative voltage to the gate or positive voltage to the source can completely deplete the N-channel region, thereby pinching off the channel and allowing the device to enter the cut-off region. The depletion of the N channel of a Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) consists of two parts, a surface P-type gate region and a substrate P-type region.
The channel of the traditional Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) is longitudinally clamped, and the structure has the defect that the clamping voltage of the channel is only non-adjustable. If Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs) with different pinch-off voltages are integrated in the same circuit, the process needs to be adjusted, the number of layers of a photomask is increased, and the like, so that the production cost is increased.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a junction field effect transistor, which includes a substrate, a first conductivity type drift region, a first conductivity type source region, a second conductivity type gate region, and a first conductivity type drain region. In this embodiment, the device of this example is described by taking the junction field effect transistor as an N-type device as an example, that is, in this embodiment, the first conductivity type is an N-type, and the second conductivity type is a P-type. The corresponding junction field effect transistor includes a P-type substrate 101, an N-type drift region 102, an N-type source region 108, a P-type gate region, and an N-type drain region 109.

As shown in fig. 1, the P-type gate region is formed in the N-type drift region 102, the P-type gate region surrounds the N-type source region 108 in a surrounding structure, the channel region 106 of the junction field effect transistor includes a defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region, and the channel opening and closing of the channel region 106 of the junction field effect transistor is realized by laterally depleting the defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region through the P-type gate region. In the present invention, when a negative voltage is applied to the P-type gate region (or a positive voltage is applied to the N-type source region 108), the P-type gate region and the N-type channel region 106 are reversely biased, so that the depletion region 110 therebetween is widened, and when the depletion regions 110 on the left and right sides of the channel region 106 coincide, the channel of the device is pinched off, and the device is turned off.
Based on the above, the present embodiment can adjust the pinch-off voltage of the junction field effect transistor by adjusting the lateral dimension of the defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region, wherein the pinch-off voltage increases with the increase of the lateral dimension of the defined region and decreases with the decrease of the lateral dimension of the defined region. For example, the lateral dimension may range from 1 micron to 3 microns.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the surrounding structure of the P-type gate region includes one of a closed ring structure, an interrupted ring structure and a two-sided clamping structure. For example, when the surrounding structure of the P-type gate region is a closed ring structure, as shown in fig. 2, the channel region 106 of the device can be more effectively defined, and the pinch-off voltage of the device is greatly reduced while ensuring the effective width of the channel.

When the jfet of this embodiment is operating, the channel of the jfet is turned on when the source and the gate are grounded and the drain is connected to a high voltage, the device operates normally, and the current when the device is turned on is as shown by the scissor in fig. 5. Under normal operating conditions, when a negative voltage is applied to the gate (or a positive voltage is applied to the source), the P-type gate region and the N-type region of the channel region 106 are reversely biased, so that the depletion region 110 therebetween is widened, as shown in fig. 6, when the depletion regions 110 on the left and right sides of the channel region 106 coincide, the channel is pinched off, and the device is turned off.

For example, the ion doping concentration of the N-type source region 108 may be between 1e19cm-3~2e20cm-3The ion doping concentration of the N-type drain region 109 may be between 1e19cm-3~2e20cm-3In the meantime.
The P-type gate region surrounds the N-type source region 108 in a surrounding structure, the channel region 106 of the junction field effect transistor includes a defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region, and the channel of the channel region 106 of the junction field effect transistor is opened and closed by performing lateral depletion on the defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region through the P-type gate region. In the present invention, when a negative voltage is applied to the P-type gate region (or a positive voltage is applied to the N-type source region 108), the P-type gate region and the N-type channel region 106 are reversely biased, so that the depletion region 110 therebetween is widened, and when the depletion regions 110 on the left and right sides of the channel region 106 coincide, the channel of the device is pinched off, and the device is turned off.
Based on the above, the present embodiment can adjust the pinch-off voltage of the junction field effect transistor by adjusting the lateral dimension of the defined region surrounded by the P-type gate region, wherein the pinch-off voltage increases with the increase of the lateral dimension of the defined region and decreases with the decrease of the lateral dimension of the defined region. For example, the lateral dimension may range from 1 micron to 3 microns.
