    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a junction field effect transistor (JFET) structure with one or more P-type silicon germanium (SiGe) or silicon germanium carbide (SiGeC) gates (i.e., a SiGe or SiGeC based heterojunction JFET). The P-type SiGe or SiGeC gate(s) allow for a lower pinch off voltage (i.e., lower Voff) without increasing the on resistance (Ron). Specifically, SiGe or SiGeC material in a P-type gate limits P-type dopant out diffusion and, thereby ensures that the P-type gate-to-N-type channel region junction is more clearly defined (i.e., abrupt as opposed to graded). By clearly defining this junction, the depletion layer in the N-type channel region is extended. Extending the depletion layer in turn allows for a faster pinch off (i.e., requires lower Voff). P-type SiGe or SiGeC gate(s) can be incorporated into conventional lateral JFET structures and/or vertical JFET structures. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of forming such a JFET structure.

    摘要: A metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) has a body layer that follows the contour of exposed surfaces of a semiconductor substrate and contains a bottom surface of a shallow trench and adjoined sidewalls. A bottom electrode layer vertically abuts the body layer and provides an electrical bias to the body layer. A top electrode and source and drain regions are formed on the body layer. The thickness of the body layer is selected to allow full depletion of the body layer by the top electrode and a bottom electrode layer. The portion of the body layer underneath the shallow trench extends the length of a channel to enable a high voltage operation. Further, the MOSFET provides a double gate configuration and a tight control of the channel to enable a complete pinch-off of the channel and a low off-current in a compact volume.

    摘要: A Schottky barrier diode comprises a doped guard ring having a doping of a second conductivity type in a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The Schottky barrier diode further comprises a first-conductivity-type-doped semiconductor region having a doping of a first conductivity type, which is the opposite of the second conductivity type, on one side of a dummy gate electrode and a Schottky barrier structure surrounded by the doped guard ring on the other side. A Schottky barrier region may be laterally surrounded by the dummy gate electrode and the doped guard ring. The doped guard ring includes an unmetallized portion of a gate-side second-conductivity-type-doped semiconductor region having a doping of a second conductivity type. A Schottky barrier region may be laterally surrounded by a doped guard ring including a gate-side doped semiconductor region and a STI-side doped semiconductor region. Design structures for the inventive Schottky barrier diode are also provided.

    摘要: A junction field effect transistor (JFET) in a semiconductor substrate includes a source region, a drain region, a channel region, an upper gate region, and a lower gate region. The lower gate region is electrically connected to the upper gate region. The upper and lower gate regions control the current flow through the channel region. By performing an ion implantation step that extends the thickness of the source region to a depth greater than the thickness of the drain region, an asymmetric JFET is formed. The extension of depth of the source region relative to the depth of the drain region reduces the length for minority charge carriers to travel through the channel region, reduces the on-resistance of the JFET, and increases the on-current of the JFET, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the JFET without decreasing the allowable Vds or dramatically increasing Voff/Vpinch.

    摘要: A structure for a semiconductor device includes an isolated MOSFET (e.g., NFET) having triple-well technology adjacent to an isolated PFET which itself is adjacent to an isolated NFET. The structure includes a substrate in which is formed a deep n-band region underneath any n-wells, p-wells and p-band regions within the substrate. One p-band region is formed above the deep n-band region and underneath the isolated p-well for the isolated MOSFET, while another p-band region is formed above the deep n-band region and underneath all of the p-wells and n-wells, including those that are part of the isolated PFET and NFET devices within the substrate. The n-wells for the isolated MOSFET are connected to the deep n-band region. The resulting structure provides for improved device isolation and reduction of noise propagating from the substrate to the FETs while maintaining the standard CMOS spacing layout spacing rules and electrical biasing characteristics both external and internal to the triple-well isolation regions.
