Abstract
A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a p-type semiconductor substrate, a first n-type collector diffusion layer formed in the p-type semiconductor substrate, a deep trench formed in the p-type semiconductor substrate so as to surround the first n-type collector diffusion layer, a p-type channel stopper layer formed beneath the deep trench, and an n-type diffusion layer formed between a sidewall of the deep trench and the first n-type collector diffusion layer.
Claims6
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type;
- a first diffusion layer formed in the semiconductor substrate and doped with a dopant of a second conductivity type that is a conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type;
- a first trench and a second trench which are formed in the semiconductor substrate to surround the first diffusion layer and which form an isolation region;
- a second diffusion layer formed below the first trench and doped with a dopant of the first conductivity type;
- and
- a third diffusion layer formed between a sidewall of the first trench and the first diffusion layer, and doped with a dopant of the second conductivity type,
- wherein the first trench is formed immediately under the second trench to connect to the second trench;
- the third diffusion layer is spaced apart from a surface of the semiconductor substrate by the second trench;
- a concentration of the dopant in the third diffusion layer is higher than a concentration of the dopant in the first diffusion layer, and
- in the third diffusion layer, a concentration of the dopant in a region in a vicinity of the first diffusion layer is higher than a concentration of the dopant in a region in a vicinity of the sidewall of the first trench.
