Adjustable avalanche diode in an integrated circuit |
摘要 |
An avalance diode including, between two heavily-doped regions of opposite conductivity types arranged at the surface of a semiconductor region, a lightly-doped region, with length L of the lightly-doped region between the heavily-doped regions approximately ranging between 50 and 200 nm. |

1. An avalanche diode comprising:
two heavily-doped regions of opposite conductivity types arranged at the surface of a semiconductor region; and a lightly-doped region, with length L of the lightly-doped region between the heavily-doped regions ranging between 120 and 200 nm, said lightly-doped region not being covered by a gate, wherein the lightly-doped region has a doping level ranging between 1017 and 1018 atoms/cm3, and the reverse-mode current leakage up to the avalanche threshold occurs between 4.0 to 7.5 volts. |
