Abstract

A MOS P-N junction diode includes a semiconductor substrate, a mask layer, a guard ring, a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon structure, a central conductive layer, a silicon nitride layer, a metal diffusion layer, a channel region, and a metal sputtering layer. For manufacturing the MOS P-N junction diode, a mask layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A gate oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a polysilicon structure is formed on the gate oxide layer. A guard ring, a central conductive layer and a channel region are formed in the semiconductor substrate. A silicon nitride layer is formed on the central conductive layer. A metal diffusion layer is formed within the guard ring and the central conductive layer. Afterwards, a metal sputtering layer is formed, and the mask layer is partially exposed.
