Abstract

A semiconductor device in which a gettering layer is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a method for forming the same are disclosed, resulting in increased reliability of the semiconductor substrate including the gettering layer. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate; a gettering layer formed of a first-type impurity and a second-type impurity in the semiconductor substrate so as to perform gettering of metal ion; and a deep-well region formed over the gettering layer in the semiconductor substrate.

Claims (9)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a semiconductor substrate;

a gettering layer including a first-type impurity and a second-type impurity in the semiconductor substrate and configured to getter metal impurities; and

a deep-well region formed over the gettering layer and provided in the semiconductor substrate.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first-type impurity includes P-type impurities and the second-type impurity includes N-type impurities.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first-type impurity includes boron (B) and the second-type impurity includes phosphorous (P).

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the deep-well region is formed by implantation of the second-type impurity.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first-type impurity is implanted with a high density.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the deep-well region is formed to partially overlap with the gettering layer.
