Abstract

The invention relates to semiconductor technologies, and particularly relates to a transverse constant current diode. The transverse constant current diode provided by the invention forms a P-type well region through introducing a lightly doped P-type region and a heavily doped P-type region into an N-type well region, thereby modulating a surface electric field, and improving breakdown voltage. Meanwhile, the lightly doped P-type region can assist to exhaust the N-type well region, thereby enabling a channel to be pinched off more easily, coming into a constant current region quickly, enabling the constant current diode to have lower pinch-off voltage, shortening the channel length of the deep heavily doped P-type region, and improving the constant current of the constant current diode. The transverse constant current diode has the beneficial effects that the breakdown voltage of the transverse constant current diode is improved effectively, the channel is enabled to be pinched off more easily at the same time, the constant current region can be entered quickly, the transverse constant current diode is enabled to have lower pinch-off voltage, and the constant current of the transverse constant current diode is effectively improved. The transverse constant current diode provided by the invention is especially applied to transverse constant current diodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to semiconductor technology, in particular to a lateral constant current diode. Background technique [0002] The constant current source is a commonly used electronic equipment and device, and it is widely used in electronic circuits. The constant current source is used to protect the entire circuit, even if the voltage is unstable or the load resistance changes greatly, it can ensure the stability of the supply current. Constant current diodes CRD (Current Regulator Diodes), that is, use diodes as constant current sources to replace ordinary constant current sources composed of multiple components such as transistors, Zener tubes and resistors. At present, the output current of constant current diodes is several milliamperes It can directly drive the load between tens of milliamperes, which realizes the purpose of simplifying the circuit structure, reducing the volume and improving the reliability of the device. In addition, t...
