Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to a diode structure, and more particularly to a transient-voltage-suppression diode structure and a manufacturing method thereof.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A transient-voltage-suppression diode, also called as a TVS diode, is an electronic device used to protect electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires. In recent years, as the development of electronic systems has become more sophisticated, the demand for TVS device has become more and more urgent.


A conventional TVS device can be combined with a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR). FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view illustrating a conventional TVS diode structure combined with a silicon controlled rectifier. In the embodiment, the TVS device 1 includes a bottom metal layer 18, a P type base layer 10, an N type buried layer 21, an N type epitaxial layer 11, a P+ type implant layer 13, an N+ type implant layer 14, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer 15, a top metal layer 16 and a passivation layer 17. The P+ type implant layer 13 and the N+ type implant layer 14 are embedded in the N type epitaxial layer 11. The top metal layer 16 is connected with the P+ type implant layer 13 and the N+ type implant layer 14 by passing through the interlayer dielectric layer 15. The TVS device 1 further includes a plurality of isolation trench portions 12 configured to isolate the P+ type implant layer 13 and the N+ type implant layer 14. The N type buried layer 21 is disposed between the P type base layer 10 and the N type epitaxial layer 11, and spatially corresponds to the P+ type implant layer 13. In addition, the TVS device 1 further includes a silicon controlled rectifier 20. Notably, in the conventional TVS device 1, the silicon controlled rectifier 20 is produced by forming the P+ type implant layer 13, the N+ type implant layer 14 and the interlayer dielectric layer 15 and then forming a recess 19 through the wet etching procedure. After the forming procedures of the top metal layer 16 and the passivation layer 17 are completed, the silicon controlled rectifier 20 is formed and located in the recess 19. However, since the wet etching procedure is utilized to produce the silicon controlled rectifier 20, the etching rate is not easy to control, and the metal is not easy to be filled within. It results that the stability of producing the TVS device 1 is not good.


Therefore, there is a need of providing a transient-voltage-suppression diode structure and a manufacturing method thereof to address the above issues encountered by the prior arts.
