Abstract
A lateral diode with high breakdown voltage capability and a method for forming the lateral diode. The lateral diode has an anode, a cathode, a substrate having a first conductivity type, an epitaxial layer having formed on the substrate, a current region formed in the epitaxial layer and on the substrate, a first well coupled to the anode, a second well coupled to the cathode, a third well with light doping concentration formed beside the first well, and a guard ring with heavy doping concentration formed in the first well and beside the third well, and between the third well and the second well is a drift region, a lateral breakdown occurs in the third well, the drift region and the second well when a reverse voltage added on the lateral diode is equal to or higher than a breakdown voltage.
