SOI semiconductor device comprising substrate diodes having a topography tolerant contact structure
Abstract:
In an SOI semiconductor device, substrate diodes may be formed on the basis of a superior design of the contact level and the metallization layer, thereby avoiding the presence of metal lines connecting to both diode electrodes in the critical substrate diode area. To this end, contact trenches may be provided so as to locally connect one type of diode electrodes within the contact level. Consequently, additional process steps for planarizing the surface topography upon forming the contact level may be avoided.
