摘要:
A method for manufacturing electrically non-active structures of an electronic circuit integrated on a semiconductor substrate (5) comprising first electrically active structures (6) and second electrically active structures (7), comprising the steps of:
inserting, in the electronic circuit, electrically non-active structures (8) to uniform the surface of the electronic circuit, the method being characterised in that it comprises the following further steps: identifying, between the electrically non-active structures (8), a first group (9) of electrically non-active structures adjacent to the first (6) and second (7) electrically active structures, identifying, between the electrically non-active structures (8), a second group (10) of electrically non-active structures not adjacent to the first (6) and second (7) electrically active structures, defining, on the semiconductor substrate, the first (9) and second (10) group of electrically non-active structures through different photolithographic steps.
摘要:
Integrated transistor device (10) formed in a chip of semiconductor material (15) having an electrical-insulation region (31) delimiting an active area (30) accommodating a bipolar transistor (11) of vertical type and a MOSFET (12) of planar type, contiguous to one another. The active area accommodates a collector region (18); a bipolar base region (19) contiguous to the collector region; an emitter region (20) within the bipolar base region; a source region (23), arranged at a distance from the bipolar base region; a drain region (24); a channel region (22) arranged between the source region and the drain region; and a well region (35). The drain region (24) and the bipolar base region (19) are contiguous and form a common base structure (19, 24, 37) shared by the bipolar transistor and the MOSFET. Thereby, the integrated transistor device (10) has a high input impedance and is capable of driving high currents, while only requiring a small integration area.
