一种化合物半导体晶圆结构A compound semiconductor wafer structure

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种化合物半导体晶圆结构,尤其涉及一种整合异质接面双极晶体管(heterojunctionbipolartransistor;HBT)、场效晶体管(fieldeffecttransistor;FET)以与门流管晶体管(Thyristor)磊晶结构于单一晶圆,可应用于静电防护(ElectrostaticDischarge,ESD)系统的化合物半导体晶圆结构。The present invention relates to a compound semiconductor wafer structure, in particular to a method of integrating a heterojunction bipolar transistor (heterojunction bipolar transistor; HBT), a field effect transistor (field effect transistor; FET) and a gate current transistor (Thyristor) epitaxial structure A single wafer, a compound semiconductor wafer structure that can be applied to an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) system.

背景技术Background technique

当人体碰触集成电路时,人体上累积的静电会经由集成电路的接脚进入电路中,再经由集成电路接地放电,放电过程会在短短几百奈秒(ns)时间产生数安培的瞬间电流,造成集成电路组件功能异常或损毁,因此在集成电路中通常需要设计一静电防护系统以保护电路中的组件。When the human body touches the integrated circuit, the static electricity accumulated on the human body will enter the circuit through the pins of the integrated circuit, and then discharge through the ground of the integrated circuit. The discharge process will generate a few amperes in just a few hundred nanoseconds (ns). Current may cause abnormal function or damage of integrated circuit components. Therefore, it is usually necessary to design an electrostatic protection system in integrated circuits to protect components in the circuit.

在化合物半导体单一晶圆制程中,受限于磊晶层的设计,在静电防护的设计方面,传统上多是使用pn接面二极管或萧基二极管(Schottkydiode),在实际应用上,通常是在晶元上先制作多个二极管,再将这些二极管串接使用,因此需占据较大晶圆面积,且二极管的导通电压较小,静电防护能力因此受到限制。In the compound semiconductor single wafer process, limited by the design of the epitaxial layer, in the design of electrostatic protection, pn junction diodes or Schottky diodes (Schottkydiodes) are traditionally used. In practical applications, usually in Multiple diodes are fabricated on the wafer, and then these diodes are used in series. Therefore, a large wafer area is required, and the conduction voltage of the diodes is small, so the electrostatic protection capability is limited.

硅控整流器(silicon-controlledrectifier;SCR)为闸流管晶体管(Thyristor)的一种,其结构为pnpn结构,广泛应用于硅晶圆制程。硅控整流器具有高导通电压,而当组件进入导通状态时则具有一低持有电压(holdingvoltage),应用于静电防护电路时可将系统电压箝制在很低的电压准位,使内部电路可以有效地被保护住,具有良好的静电防护效能。Silicon-controlled rectifier (silicon-controlled rectifier; SCR) is a kind of thyristor transistor (Thyristor), its structure is pnpn structure, widely used in silicon wafer manufacturing process. The silicon controlled rectifier has a high turn-on voltage and a low holding voltage (holding voltage) when the component enters the conduction state. When applied to the electrostatic protection circuit, the system voltage can be clamped at a very low voltage level, making the internal circuit It can be effectively protected and has good electrostatic protection performance.

目前在化合物半导体晶圆结构方面,为了提高组件积集度,已逐渐采用一种称为BiFET/BiHEMT的结构,亦即一种异质接面双极晶体管(HBT)与场效晶体管/高电子迁移率晶体管(FET/HEMT)的垂直堆栈结构,可以将HBT与FET/HEMT组件整合于同一芯片上;由于HBT具有npn或pnp接面结构,而FET/HEMT可为n型或p型,因此,如能在BiFET/BiHEMT结构中形成硅控整流器所需的pnpn结构,即可将硅控整流器与BiFET/BiHEMT结构加以整合,能更加提高单一晶圆的应用范围,同时可大幅改善静电防护能力。At present, in the compound semiconductor wafer structure, in order to increase the integration of components, a structure called BiFET/BiHEMT has been gradually adopted, that is, a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) and field effect transistor/high electron The vertical stack structure of mobility transistors (FET/HEMT) can integrate HBT and FET/HEMT components on the same chip; since HBT has an npn or pnp junction structure, and FET/HEMT can be n-type or p-type, so If the pnpn structure required by the silicon controlled rectifier can be formed in the BiFET/BiHEMT structure, the silicon controlled rectifier can be integrated with the BiFET/BiHEMT structure, which can further increase the application range of a single wafer and greatly improve the electrostatic protection ability .
