摘要: Transistors (21, 41) employing floating buried layers may be susceptible to noise coupling into the floating buried layers. In IGFETS this is reduced or eliminated by providing a normally-ON switch (80, 80′) coupling the buried layer (102, 142, 172, 202) and the IGFET source (22, 42) or drain (24, 44). When the transistor (71, 91) is OFF, this clamps the buried layer voltage and substantially prevents noise coupling thereto. When the drain-source voltage VDS exceeds the switch's (80, 80′) threshold voltage Vt, it turns OFF, allowing the buried layer (102, 142, 172, 202) to float, and thereby resume normal transistor action without degrading the breakdown voltage or ON-resistance. In a preferred embodiment, a normally-ON lateral JFET (801, 801′, 801-1, 801-2, 801-3) conveniently provides this switching function. The lateral JFET (801-3) can be included in the device (70, 70′, 90, 90′) by mask changes without adding or customizing any process steps, thereby providing the improved noise resistance without significant increase in manufacturing cost. The improvement applies to both P (90-1) and N channel (70-1, 70-2, 70-3) transistors and is particularly useful for LDMOS devices.
摘要翻译: 使用浮置掩埋层的晶体管(21,41)可能易于与浮动掩埋层的噪声耦合。 在IGFETS中,通过提供耦合埋层(102,142,172,202)和IGFET源(22,42)或漏极(24,44)的常开开关(80,80')来减少或消除这种情况。 当晶体管(71,91)为OFF时,这夹着埋层电压并且基本上防止与其耦合的噪声。 当漏极 - 源极电压V DS超过开关(80,80')阈值电压Vt时,它变为OFF,允许埋层(102,142,172,202)浮起,从而恢复正常的晶体管作用而不降低击穿 电压或导通电阻。 在优选实施例中,正向导通的横向JFET(801,801',801-1,801-2,801-3)方便地提供该开关功能。 横向JFET(801-3)可以通过掩模改变而被包括在设备(70,70',90,90')中,而不需要添加或定制任何工艺步骤,从而提供改进的抗噪声性,而不会显着增加制造成本。 该改进适用于P(90-1)和N通道(70-1,70-2,70-3)晶体管,并且对于LDMOS器件特别有用。

摘要: Transistors (21, 41) employing floating buried layers (BL) (72) may exhibit transient breakdown voltage (BVdss)TR significantly less than (BVdss)DC. It is found that this occurs because the floating BL (72) fails to rapidly follow the applied transient, causing the local electric field within the device to temporarily exceed avalanche conditions. (BVdss)TR of such transistors (69. 69′) can be improved to equal or exceed (BVdss)DC by including a charge pump capacitance (94, 94′) coupling the floating BL (72) to whichever high-side terminal (28, 47) receives the transient. The charge pump capacitance (94, 94′) may be external to the transistor (69, 69′), may be formed on the device surface (71) or, may be formed internally to the transistor (69-3, 69′-3) using a dielectric deep trench isolation wall (100) separating DC isolated sinker regions (86, 88) extending to the BL (72). The improvement is particularly useful for LDMOS devices.

摘要: Method (200) and apparatus (30, 50-53) are described for MOS capacitors (MOS CAPs). The apparatus (30, 50-53) comprises a substrate (31) having Ohmically coupled N and P semiconductor regions (32, 34; 54, 56; 92, 94) covered by a dielectric (35, 57, 95). A conductive electrode (36, 58, 96) overlies the dielectric (35, 57, 95) above these N and P regions (32, 34; 54, 56; 92, 94). Use of the Ohmically coupled N and P regions (32, 34; 54, 56; 92, 94) substantially reduces the variation (40, 64, 70, 80) of capacitance with applied voltage associated with ordinary MOS CAPs. When these N and P regions (32, 34; 54, 56; 92, 94) have unequal doping, the capacitance variation (40, 64, 70, 80) may still be substantially compensated by adjusting the properties of the dielectric (57, 95) above the N and P regions (54, 56; 92, 94) and/or relative areas of the N and P regions (54, 56; 92, 94) or both. Accordingly, such MOS CAPS may be more easily integrated with other semiconductor devices with minimal or no disturbance to the established integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process and without significantly increasing the occupied area beyond that required for a conventional MOS CAP.
