A LDMOS transistor having a channel region located between an outer boundary of an n-type region and an inner boundary of a p-body region. A width of the LDMOS channel region is less than 80% of a distance between an outer boundary of an n+-type region and the inner boundary of a p-body region. Also, a method for making a LDMOS transistor where the n-type dopants are implanted at an angle that is greater than an angle used to implant the p-type dopants. Furthermore, a VDMOS having first and second channel regions located between an inner boundary of a first and second p-body region and an outer boundary of an n-type region of the first and second p-body regions. The width of the first and second channel regions of the VDMOS is less than 80% of a distance between the inner boundary of the first and second p-body regions and an outer boundary of an n+-type region of the first and second p-body regions. Moreover, a method for making a VDMOS transistor where the n-type dopants are implanted at an angle that is greater than an angle used to implant the p-type dopants.

A capacitor (100) is disclosed that is formed as part of an integrated circuit (IC) fabrication process. The capacitor (100) has conductive top and bottom electrodes (140, 144) and a nonconductive capacitor dielectric (142). In one example, the dielectric (142) includes first and second thin dielectric layers (112, 114) that sandwich a layer of antireflective material (118). The thin layers (112, 114) provide the dielectric behavior necessary for the capacitor while the antireflective layer (118) promotes reduced feature sizes by mitigating reflected standing waves, among other things.

A method for semiconductor processing is provided wherein a workpiece having an underlying body and a plurality of features extending therefrom, is provided. A first set of the plurality of features extend from the underlying body to a first plane, and a second set of the plurality features extend from the underlying body to a second plane. A protection layer overlies each of the plurality of features and an isolation layer overlies the underlying body and protection layer, wherein the isolation has a non-uniform first oxide density associated therewith. The isolation layer anisotropically etched based on a predetermined pattern, and then isotropically etched, wherein a second oxide density of the isolation layer is substantially uniform across the workpiece. The predetermined pattern is based, at least in part, on a desired oxide density, a location and extension of the plurality of features to the first and second planes.

A one-step CMP process for polishing three or more layer film stacks on a wafer having a multilayer film stack thereon including a silicon nitride (SiNx) layer on its semiconductor surface, and a silicon oxide layer on the SiNx layer, wherein trench access vias extend through the silicon oxide layer and SiNx layer to trenches formed into the semiconductor surface, and wherein a polysilicon layer fills the trench access vias, fills the trenches, and is on the silicon oxide layer. CMP polishes the multilayer film stack with a slurry including slurry particles including at least one of silica and ceria. The CMP provides a removal rate (RR) for the polysilicon layer>a RR for the silicon oxide layer>a RR for the SiNx layer. The CMP process is continued to remove the polysilicon layer, silicon oxide layer and a portion of the SiNx layer to stop on the SiNx layer. Optical endpointing during CMP can provide a predetermined remaining thickness range for the SiNx layer.

A method for forming a bipolar transistor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate. An oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The oxide layer is patterned to form an opening that exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. A dopant, such as antimony, is implanted into the semiconductor substrate through the opening to form a buried layer. An upper portion of the mask layer is removed to define a thin mask layer. A buried layer diffusion process is performed to drive in the implanted dopants while mitigating recess formation.

An electronic device architecture is described comprising a field effect device in an active region 22 of a substrate 10. Channel stop implant regions 28a and 28b are used as isolation structures and are spaced apart from the active region 22 by extension zones 27a and 27b. The spacing is established by using an inner mask layer 20 and an outer mask layer 26 to define the isolation structures.
摘要:
Devices and methods are presented to fabricate dummy moats in an isolation region on a substrate. Presently, dummy moats are prone to losing impedance after the silicidation process. In high-voltage devices, silicided dummy moats reduce the breakdown voltage between active regions, particularly when the dummy moat overlaps or is in close proximity to a junction. The present devices and methods disclose a dummy moat covered with an oxide layer. During the silicidation process, the dummy moat and other designated isolation regions remain non-silicided. Thus, high and stable breakdown voltages are maintained.
