摘要:
The method comprises blanket depositing a layer of a first material on a semiconductor structure, on the surface of which protruding regions (34A) have been formed bordering with a vertical wall (40) on adjacent areas, and subsequently removing completely or selectively that layer by reactive ion etching where prior to the deposition of said layer the vertical wall (40) is reshaped either by removing material from that wall (40) or by accumulating a second material on said wall (40). The method prevents that uncontrolled residues of materials like a doped polysilicon after reactive ion etching steps. These residues might be detrimental to devices and elements, like transistors and resistors formed in the semiconductor substrate.
摘要:
The method starts from a monocrystalline semiconductor substrate (2) having a highly doped region (1), and being covered by an oxide mask (3) which is apertured above region (1). A layer (6) of polysilicon is deposited over oxide mask (3). The structure is exposed to laser radiation (14) to convert layer (6) into monocrystalline silicon within and above the oxide apertures. … The method is useful in making filamentary pedestal transistors without extrinsic base-collector junctions. In this present case, region (1) serves as a subcollector, two polycrystalline areas are made monocrystalline, with the one area(4) and the polycrystalline area (7) surrounding it being doped with a base dopant, and the other area (5) being made the collector reach-through region. The upper portion (10) of area (4) is made the emitter.
摘要:
The lateral transistor is described which has both its base width and the emitter region of the transistor minimized. The lateral transistor which may be typically PNP transistor is formed in a monocrystalline semiconductor body (22) having a buried N + region (21) within the body. A P type emitter region (94) is located in the body. An N type base region (68) is located around the side periphery of the emitter region (94). A P type collector region is located in the body surrounding the periphery of the base region (68). A first P + polycrystalline silicon layer (64) is located on the surface of the body (22) to make physical and electrical contact with the collector region. A second P + polycrystalline silicon layer (90) acting as an emitter contact for the emitter region is in physical and electrical contact with the emitter region and acts as its electrical contact. A vertical insulator layer (70) on the edge of the first polycrystalline silicon layer isolates the two polycrystalline silicon layers from one another. The N base region (68) at its surface is located underneath the width of the vertical insulator layer. An N+ reach-through region (24) extending from the surface of the body (22) to the buried N+ region (21) acts as an electrical contact through the N+ buried layer to the base region (68). The width of the vertical insulator has a width which is equal to the desired base width of the lateral PNP transistor plus lateral diffusions of the collector and emitter junctions of the lateral PNP. The preferred structure is to have the emitter (94) formed around the periphery of a channel or groove which has at its base a insulating layer (84) such as silicon dioxide. The parasitic transistor is almost totally eliminated by this buried oxide isolation.
摘要:
Verfahren zum Herstellen lateraler PNP- oder NPN-Transistoren in isolierten, monokristallinen Siliciumbereichen, die durch Siliciumdioxid-Isolationszonen isoliert sind, wobei die PNP- oder NPN-Transistoren innerhalb der isolierten monokristallinen Zone teilweise unterhalb der Oberfläche des Halbleiters gebildet werden. Die P-Emitter oder N-Emitterdiffusion wird über dem Abschnitt der Siliciumdioxid-Schicht durchgeführt, die sich teilweise in die isolierte monokristalline Zone hinein erstreckt. Durch diesen Aufbau wird die vertikale Strominjektion herabgesetzt, so daß man eine relativ hohe (Beta) Verstärkung selbst bei kleinen Basis-Emitter-Spannungen erhält. Der durch dieses Verfahren erzeugte laterale PNP- oder NPN-Transistor liegt in einer isolierten monokristallinen Siliciumzone, wobei die Siliciumdioxid-Isolation die Zone umgibt und teilweise unterhalb der Oberfläche in die isolierte monokristalline Siliciumzone hineinreicht. Die P-Emitter- oder N-Emitter-Diffusion liegt über dem Abschnitt der Siliciumdioxid-Schicht, der sich teilweise in die monokristalline isolierte Zone hineinerstreckt.
摘要:
A dynamic memory cell has a P+ injector region (48) surrounded by an N+ region (44) in an N- layer (30) on an N+ layer (20). The injector region (48) is placed between N+ source and drain regions (38, 40). Holes injected into the N-layer (30) are trapped by the high-low junctions at the N+, N- interfaces and are detected by sensing the source-drain current. Current levels are used to establish binary one and zero levels in the cell. Four masks in an aligned procedure simplify fabrication.
