There are disclosed herein various implementations of a latch-up free power transistor. Such a device includes an insulated gate situated adjacent to a conduction channel in the power transistor, an emitter electrode in direct physical contact with the conduction channel, and a collector electrode in electrical contact with the conduction channel. The power transistor also includes an emitter layer in contact with a surface of a semiconductor substrate adjacent the conduction channel.

It is prevented that when a predetermined number of semiconductor chips having transistors are manufactured from one semiconductor wafer, manufacturing cost of a semiconductor device is increased due to excess semiconductor chips manufactured from the semiconductor wafer. A first bipolar transistor including a first emitter region having a first area is formed in a first chip formation region in an exposure region that can be exposed by one exposure step, and a second bipolar transistor including a second emitter region having a second area different from the first area is formed in a second chip formation region in the exposure region.

The invention relates to a method for contacting SIPOS-passivated semiconductor zones on a semiconductor body, where the removal of the oxide layer from the wafer surface takes place at the same time as the oxide etching before SIPOS passivation. The double-layered SIPOS passivation consists here of a N-SIPOS layer and a O-SIPOS layer. For contact opening, only the N-SIPOS layer is removed by wet chemical etching. By annealing the previously vaporized and structured metallization, a good contact results which can also carry a high current. The process according to the invention involves a simple sequence of operations and an underetching of the passivation layers and the disadvantages resulting from this are reliably avoided.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a semiconductor element which includes a semiconductor zone (19) situated below an electrode (18) and adjoining a surface (5) of a semiconductor body (1), which semiconductor zone substantially does not project outside the electrode (18) in lateral direction. The electrode (18) is here formed on the surface (5) of the semiconductor body (1), after which semiconductor material adjoining the surface (5) and not covered by the electrode (18) is removed by an etching treatment, whereby the position of the semiconductor zone (19) below the electrode (18) is defined. Before the electrode (18) is formed, a surface zone (16) adjoining the surface (5) is formed in the semiconductor body (1) with a depth and a doping such as are desired for the semiconductor zone (19) to be formed below the electrode (18), after which the electrode (18) is formed on this surface zone and, during the etching treatment, the portion of the surface zone (16) not covered by the electrode (18) is etched away through its entire thickness. Conducting materials such as aluminium or aluminium alloys may be used for the electrode (18), i.e. materials which are not resistant to temperatures necessary for forming semiconductor zones through diffusion.

Using a silicon etched technique to remove an implanted base and emitter surrounding emitter-base islands, a "mesa" emitter structure can be formed. Using the structure, a self aligned P+ can be formed around emitter-base islands.

An N.sup.- silicon layer is epitaxially grown on an oxide film with predetermined openings disposed on one main face of an N.sup.+ silicon substrate to form monocrystalline portions on the openings and polycrystalline portions on the oxide film. Ion implantation and thermal annealing is used to convert the polycrystalline portions to P.sup.+ external base regions and form P.sup.+ internal base regions in the monocrystalline portions. Arsenic ions are selectively implanted into the internal base regions to form N.sup.+ emitter regions. Then, base and emitter electrodes are formed on the external base and emitter regions so as to be electrically insulated from one another by an oxide film and a collector electrode is formed on the other main face of the substrate.

A TRANSISTOR HAVING AN EMITTER ZONE AND A COLLECTOR ZONE SEPARATED BY A BASE ZONE, AND A METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME. THE REGION OF THE COLLECTOR ZONE ADJACENT TO THE BASE ZONE AND OPPOSITE THE EMITTER ZONE IS OF LOWER RESISTANCE THAN THE REMAINDER OF THE COLLECTOR ZONE. THE METHOD OF FORMING THE TRANSISTOR ENTAILS OPENING A DIFFUSION WINDOW OF THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF AN EMITTER DIFFUSION WINDOW IN A DIFFUSION MASKING LAYER FORMED ON THE SURFACE OF A SEMICONDUCTOR BODY OF A FIRST CONDUCTIVITY TYPE, AND FORMING A LOW-OHMIC REGION OF THE FIRST CONDUCTIVITY WITHIN THE SEMICONDUCTOR BODY BY THE DIFFUSION OF AN IMPURITY. THE BASE DIFFUSION WINDOW IS THEN OPENED AND THE BASE ZONE FORMED
BY DIFFUSION SO THAT THE BASE ZONE EXTENDS TO A LESSER DEPTH FROM THE SURFACE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR BODY THAN THE LOW OHMIC REGION, AND FINALLY THE EMITTER DIFFUSION WINDOW IS OPENED AT THE LOCATION AND OF THE SIZE OF THE FIRST OPENED DIFFUSION WINDOW AND AN EMITTER ZONE IS FORMED BY DIFFUSION IN THE BASE ZONE.
