[Problem] A wide band gap semiconductor device used in a power converter is known to have a problem that the device is destroyed with a high surge voltage, and tolerance against breakdown needs to be improved. This problem is known to be more outstanding in a unipolar and lateral type semiconductor device. [Solution] The present invention provides a semiconductor device that prevents destruction due to an avalanche breakdown and that has a high tolerance against breakdown by configuring the device so as to have a punch-through breakdown function therein and such that the breakdown voltage of a punch-through breakdown is lower than an avalanche breakdown voltage so that an avalanche breakdown does not occur.

A method includes forming a gate of a transistor within a substrate having a surface and forming a buried oxide (BOX) layer within the substrate and adjacent to the gate at a first BOX layer face. The method also includes forming a raised source-drain channel (“fin”), where at least a portion of the fin extends from the surface of the substrate, and where the fin has a first fin face adjacent a second BOX layer face of the BOX layer.

Provided is a capacitorless memory device. The device includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate, a storage region disposed on a partial region of the insulating layer, a channel region disposed on the storage region to provide a valence band energy offset between the channel region and the storage region, a gate insulating layer and a gate electrode sequentially disposed on the channel region, and source and drain electrodes connected to the channel region and disposed at both sides of the gate electrode. A storage region unit having different valence band energy from a channel region unit is disposed under the channel region unit so that charges trapped in the storage region unit cannot be easily drained. Thus, a charge retention time may be increased to improve data storage capability.

In one embodiment, a floating body field-effect transistor includes a pair of source/drain regions having a floating body channel region received therebetween. The source/drain regions and the floating body channel region are received over an insulator. A gate electrode is proximate the floating body channel region. A gate dielectric is received between the gate electrode and the floating body channel region. The floating body channel region has a semiconductor SixGe(1-x)-comprising region. The floating body channel region has a semiconductor silicon-comprising region received between the semiconductor SixGe(1-x)-comprising region and the gate dielectric. The semiconductor SixGe(1-x)-comprising region has greater quantity of Ge than any quantity of Ge within the semiconductor silicon-comprising region. Other embodiments are contemplated, including methods of forming floating body field-effect transistors.
