Patent number: 8519478Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a Schottky barrier diode. This diode can be formed in a semiconductor substrate having a doped region with a first conductivity type. A trench isolation structure can laterally surround a section of the doped region at the top surface of the substrate. A semiconductor layer can be positioned on the top surface of the substrate. This semiconductor layer can have a Schottky barrier portion over the defined section of the doped region and a guardring portion over the trench isolation structure laterally surrounding the Schottky barrier portion. The Schottky barrier portion can have the first conductivity type and the guarding portion can have a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. A metal silicide layer can overlie the semiconductor layer. Also disclosed are embodiments of a method of forming this Schottky barrier diode and of a design structure for the Schottky barrier diode.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert M.

Patent number: 8421181Abstract: A Schottky barrier diode comprises a first-type substrate, a second-type well isolation region on the first-type substrate, and a first-type well region on the second-type well isolation region. With embodiments herein a feature referred to as a perimeter capacitance well junction ring is on the second-type well isolation region. A second-type well region is on the second-type well isolation region. The perimeter capacitance well junction ring is positioned between and separates the first-type well region and the second-type well region. A second-type contact region is on the second-type well region, and a first-type contact region contacts the inner portion of the first-type well region. The inner portion of the first-type well region is positioned within the center of the first-type contact region. Additionally, a first ohmic metallic layer is on the first-type contact region and a second ohmic metallic layer is on the first-type well region.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Frederick G.
