Abstract
A zener diode in a SiGe BiCMOS process is disclosed. An N-type region of the zener diode is formed in an active region and surrounded by an N-deep well. A pseudo buried layer is formed under each of the shallow trench field oxide regions on a corresponding side of the active region, and the N-type region is connected to the pseudo buried layers via the N-deep well. The N-type region has its electrode picked up by deep hole contacts. A P-type region of the zener diode is formed of a P-type ion implanted region in the active region. The P-type region is situated above and in contact with the N-type region, and has a doping concentration greater than that of the N-type region. The P-type region has its electrode picked up by metal contact. A method of fabricating zener diode in a SiGe BiCMOS process is also disclosed.
