    摘要: In one embodiment, an SCR device (41) includes a p+ wafer (417), a p− layer (416), an n+ buried layer (413) and an n− layer (414). P− wells (411,421) are formed in the n− layer (414). N+ regions (412,422) and p+ regions (415,425) are formed in the p− wells (411,421). A first ohmic contact (431) couples one n+ regions (422) to one p+ region (425). A second ohmic contact (433) couples another n+ region (412) to another p+ region (415) to provide physically and electrically symmetrical low-voltage p-n-p-n silicon controlled rectifiers. A deep isolation trench (419) surrounding the SCR device (41) and dopant concentration profiles provide a low capacitance SCR design for protecting high frequency integrated circuits from electrostatic discharges.

    摘要: A method for preventing the snap down effect in a power rectifier with higher breakdown voltage comprises the step of forming an isolation layer between the semiconductor substrate and the epitaxy layer. The isolation layer can prevent the dislocation occurred upon the semiconductor substrate from influencing the p-n junction atop. Therefore, the power rectifier manufactured by the method of the present invention can work under a higher breakdown voltage exceeding 450 V with reduced cost.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a joined-type semiconductor device having a gate structure. The semiconductor device includes a first and second semiconductor substrates each having a substrate body, and a first and a second main surfaces which are opposite to each other. A gate structure is formed in the first main surface of the first substrate. A highly-doped semiconductor layer is formed in the first main surface of the second substrate and has an impurity-concentration which is higher than that of the substrate body of the second substrate. The first main surfaces of the two substrates are joined with each other, by subjecting the two substrates to a heat treatment so that impurities in the highly-doped semiconductor layer of the second substrate are driven into the surface region of the first substrate, and a diffusion layer is thereby formed in the first main surface of the first substrate.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a UMOS semiconductor device includes a blanket implant of an N type dopant into a surface of a substrate (for forming source regions), a high energy implant of a P type dopant into the substrate (for forming body regions), an etch through a hard mask to form trenches and mesas (each of the mesas having a source region at its top and a body region below), and concurrently (i) providing a gate dielectric on the sidewalls of the trenches and (ii) redistributing the dopants so that the body regions extend deeper into the substrate beneath the centers of the mesas than adjacent the walls of the trenches. Contact windows are etched in the mesas to allow electrical contact with the source regions and the body regions. The initial implant of P type dopant may be a blanket implant or an implant through a mask which concentrates the P type dopant in the centers of the mesas.

    摘要: Methods of forming power semiconductor devices include the steps of forming a relatively highly doped latch-up inhibiting region to suppress the likelihood of parasitic thyristor latch-up in a power semiconductor device such as an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). In particular, an insulated-gate bipolar transistor is formed by patterning an insulated gate electrode on a surface of a drift region and then implanting first dopants of second conductivity type (e.g., P-type) at a first depth into the drift region, using the gate electrode as an implant mask. The implanted first dopants are then diffused using a thermal treatment to form a base region (e.g., P- well region). Second dopants of second conductivity type are then implanted into the base region at a second depth, less than the first depth, using the insulated gate electrode as a mask. Third dopants of first conductivity type (e.g., N-type) are also implanted into the base region at a third depth, less than the second depth, using the insulated gate electrode as an implant mask. These opposite conductivity type dopants are then simultaneously diffused laterally and vertically in the base region to define a relatively wide and highly doped latch-up inhibiting region (e.g., P-type) and at least one source region disposed between the latch-up inhibiting region and the surface of the drift region. By implanting the second and third dopants using the same implant mask and then diffusing these dopants simultaneously and for the same duration, a latch-up inhibiting region can be formed as wide in the base region as the at least one source region, when the regions are viewed in transverse cross-section. This inhibits the likelihood that the P-N junction at the edge of the at least one source region will become forward biased during high forward current conduction.

    摘要: An a.c. switch includes across first and second main terminals a first thyristor disposed in parallel with, but in an opposite direction of, a first diode and in series with a second thyristor disposed in parallel with, but in an opposite direction of, a second diode. The first thyristor has a gate terminal connected to its gate area. The second thyristor and second diode are vertically realized in the same substrate, their conduction areas being closely interlaced, whereby a polarity inversion following a conduction period of the second diode causes the second thyristor to become conductive.

    摘要: A general object of the present invention is to make a maximum controllable current large without exerting adverse effect on other characteristics. In a surface of an n.sup.- layer 2 formed on a p.sup.+ substrate 1, p diffusion regions 3a, 3b and 3c are formed separated by n.sup.+ diffusion regions 4a, 4b and an oxidation film 9. Above the p diffusion regions 3a and 3b, gate electrodes 5a and 5b are formed insulated from the surrounding by an oxidation film 6. An Al--Si electrode 7 is in contact with the p diffusion region 3a and the n.sup.+ diffusion region 4a while a metal electrode 8 is in contact with the p.sup.+ substrate 1. By virtue of interposition of the oxidation film 9, a thyristor consisting of the n.sup.+ diffusion region 4a , p diffusion region 3a, n.sup.- layer 2 and p.sup.+ substrate 1 is prevented from being actuated.
