Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards an integrated circuit (IC) in which a high voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor (HVMOS) device is integrated with a high voltage junction termination (HVJT) device. In some embodiments, a first drift well and a second drift well are in a substrate. The first and second drift wells border in a ring-shaped pattern and have a first doping type. A peripheral well is in the substrate and has a second doping type opposite the first doping type. The peripheral well surrounds and separates the first and second drift wells. A body well is in the substrate and has the second doping type. Further, the body well overlies the first drift well and is spaced from the peripheral well by the first drift well. A gate electrode overlies a junction between the first drift well and the body well.
Abstract:
A lateral DMOS transistor is provided with a source region, a drain region, and a conductive gate. The drain region is laterally separated from the conductive gate by a field oxide that encroaches beneath the conductive gate. The lateral DMOS transistor may be formed in a racetrack-like configuration with the conductive gate including a rectilinear portion and a curved portion and surrounded by the source region. Disposed between the conductive gate and the trapped drain is one or more levels of interlevel dielectric material. One or more groups of isolated conductor leads are formed in or on the dielectric layers and may be disposed at multiple device levels. The isolated conductive leads increase the breakdown voltage of the lateral DMOS transistor particularly in the curved regions where electric field crowding can otherwise degrade breakdown voltages.

Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a two-dimensional carrier gas (2DCG) semiconductor device comprising an ohmic source/drain electrode with a plurality of protrusions separated by gaps and protruding from a bottom surface of the ohmic source/drain electrode. The ohmic source/drain electrode overlies a semiconductor film, and the protrusions extend from the bottom surface into the semiconductor film. Further, the ohmic source/drain electrode is separated from another ohmic source/drain electrode that also overlies the semiconductor film. The semiconductor film comprises a channel layer and a barrier layer that are vertically stacked and directly contact at a heterojunction. The channel layer accommodates a 2DCG that extends along the heterojunction and is ohmically coupled to the ohmic source/drain electrode and the other ohmic source/drain electrode. A gate electrode overlies the semiconductor film between the ohmic source/drain electrode and the other source/drain electrode.
