    Abstract: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed. The method comprises forming a semiconductor ridge over a semiconductor surface of a substrate and forming an implant screen on a top and sidewalls of the semiconductor ridge. The implant screen is at least two times thicker on the top of the semiconductor ridge relative to the sidewalls of the semiconductor ridge. The method further comprises implanting a dopant into the top and sidewalls of the semiconductor ridge.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an extended drain finFET. The drain drift region of the finFET extends between a drain contact region and a body of the finFET. The drain drift region includes an enhanced portion of the drain drift region between the drain contact region and the body. The drain drift region also includes a first charge balance region and a second charge balance region laterally adjacent to, and on opposite sides of, the enhanced portion of the drain drift region. The enhanced portion of the drain drift region and the drain contact region have a first conductivity type; the body, the first charge balance region, and the second charge balance region have a second, opposite, conductivity type. The drain drift region is wider than the body.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a bird's beak profile of a field oxide region. In an example, a semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a dielectric oxide layer, and a field oxide region. The semiconductor substrate has a top surface. The dielectric oxide layer is over the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The field oxide region is over the semiconductor substrate. The field oxide region is connected to the dielectric oxide layer through a bird's beak region. A lower surface of the bird's beak region interfaces with the semiconductor substrate. In a cross-section along a direction from the field oxide region to the dielectric oxide layer, the lower surface of the bird's beak region does not have a slope with a magnitude that exceeds 0.57735, where rise of the slope is in a direction normal to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to isolation of a semiconductor device formed in a semiconductor substrate. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a drift well, a drain region, a first dopant isolation region, and a second dopant isolation region. The drift well, drain region, first dopant isolation region, and second dopant isolation region are disposed in a semiconductor substrate. The drift well, drain region, and second dopant isolation region are doped with a first dopant conductivity type. The first dopant isolation region is doped with a second dopant conductivity type opposite from the first dopant conductivity type. The drain region is disposed within the drift well. The first dopant isolation region circumscribes the drain region. The first dopant isolation region is an electrically floating node. The second dopant isolation region circumscribes the first dopant isolation region.

    Abstract: The present disclosure introduces a microelectronic device including a source side field plate in a microelectronic device. The microelectronic device may be configured as a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor, a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor, a drain extended metal oxide semiconductor (DEMOS) transistor, a bipolar junction transistor, a junction field effect transistor, a CMOS transistor, or a gated bipolar device. The source side field plate extends over the source region by a distance which is more than a quarter of the width of the source region. Transistors may suffer from Vt shifts during gate and drain stress over time. The source side field plate reduces the electric field of the transistor near the gate electrode corner on the source side of the transistor. The gate injection current on the source side and electron trapping in the gate oxide thereby reduced which reduces Vt shifts over time.
