    Abstract: A semiconductor switch device and a method of making the same. The device includes a semiconductor substrate having a major surface. The device also includes a first semiconductor region located in the substrate beneath the major surface. The device includes an elongate gate located on the major surface. The device also includes a source region and a drain region located in the first semiconductor region adjacent respective first and second elongate edges of the gate. The device also includes electrical contacts for the source and drain regions. The contacts include at least two contacts located on either the source region or the drain region, which are spaced apart along a direction substantially parallel the elongate edges of the gate. The device further includes an isolation region located between the at least two contacts. The isolation region extends through the source/drain region from the major surface to the first semiconductor region.

    Abstract: Consistent with an example embodiment, a bipolar transistor comprises an emitter region vertically separated from a collector region in a substrate by a base region. The bipolar transistor further comprises a field plate electrically connected to the emitter region; the field plate extends from the emitter region along the base region into the collector region and the field plate is laterally electrically insulated from the base region and the collector region by a spacer. The spacer comprises an electrically isolating material that includes a silicon nitride layer and is vertically electrically isolated from the substrate by a further electrically isolating material.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor device may include a semiconductor substrate, a first semiconductor region comprising a first material with a first polarity formed within the semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor region comprising the first material with a second polarity formed within the semiconductor substrate and coupled to the first semiconductor region. In an embodiment, a semiconductor device may also include a first electrode coupled to the first semiconductor region, a second electrode coupled to the second semiconductor region, and a depletion region formed between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region. The depletion region may include a mixed crystal region that includes a mixed crystal alloy of the first material and a second material, wherein the mixed crystal region has a lower bandgap energy than a bandgap energy of the first material.
