Claim Text:
1. A vertical diode, comprising: a substrate; a high-voltage N-type well region formed in the substrate, wherein the high-voltage N-type well region extends from a top surface of the substrate downward to a depth, and wherein the high-voltage N-type well region has a first N-type dopant concentration; two P-doped regions formed in the high-voltage N-type well region, wherein the P-doped regions are spaced apart from each other; an N-type well region formed in the high-voltage N-type well region, wherein the N-type well region has a second N-type dopant concentration that is higher than the first N-type dopant concentration; an N-type heavily doped region formed in the N-type well region, wherein the N-type heavily doped region has a third N-type dopant concentration that is higher than the second N-type dopant concentration; a plurality of isolation structures formed on the top surface of the substrate to define an anode region and a cathode region, wherein the anode region exposes the P-doped regions and the high-voltage N-type well region between the P-doped regions, and wherein the cathode region exposes the N-type heavily doped region; a bottom N-type implanted region formed under the high-voltage N-type well region corresponding to the anode region, wherein the bottom N-type implanted region directly contacts the high-voltage N-type well region; an anode electrode electrically connected to the P-doped regions and the high-voltage N-type well region between the P-doped regions; a cathode electrode electrically connected to the N-type heavily doped region; and wherein a height of the bottom N-type implanted region is 5-15% of the depth of the high-voltage N-type well region.
