Monolithic vertical semiconductor structure with multiple diodes
The patent US12074225B2 describes a semiconductor structure designed for diodes, specifically focusing on PIN diodes. The structure includes an N-type silicon substrate and an intrinsic layer made of undoped silicon. It features multiple P-type regions, each corresponding to different PIN diodes, with varying depths into the intrinsic layer. Notably, the first P-type region extends deeper than the second, and there is a provision for a third P-type region that is shallower than the second. The design also incorporates a dielectric layer with multiple openings, allowing for strategic placement of the P-type regions beneath these openings, which can vary in width.
Additionally, the semiconductor structure includes cathode and anode contacts for the diodes, positioned on the backside and frontside of the structure, respectively. The claims further detail the inclusion of insulators between the different pedestals of the diodes, enhancing the structural integrity and functionality of the device. This innovative arrangement aims to optimize the performance of the diodes by allowing for tailored electrical characteristics through the manipulation of the P-type region depths and the configuration of the dielectric layer.
