A field MOS transistor having a high withstand voltage is disclosed. An island region of an epitaxial layer is surrounded by a heavily-doped isolation layer and a lightly-doped isolation layer formed thereon. A channel region is formed in the island region so as to assume the same doping level as that of the lightly-doped isolation layer. A region is formed below the island region so as to assume the same doping level as that of the heavily-doped isolation layer, thus supplying a back gate voltage to the transistor. The channel formation region is formed simultaneously with formation of the lightly-doped isolation layer, and the region below the island region is formed simultaneously with the heavily-doped isolation layer. As a result, manufacturing processes can be simplified.

In a high breakdown voltage semiconductor device, a buried diffusion region is formed on a semiconductor substrate and an epitaxial layer is formed on the buried diffusion region and the substrate. The epitaxial layer includes a low breakdown voltage element region adjoined by a high breakdown voltage isolation region. A method for forming the high breakdown voltage isolation region complies with a Resurf condition by adjusting a thickness and an impurity concentration of the epitaxial layer. Thus, a high breakdown voltage semiconductor device and a manufacturing process therefor is provided, which includes a low breakdown voltage element region and a high breakdown voltage element region, and a high breakdown isolation region separates a high breakdown voltage region without impairing the characteristics of an element formed on the low breakdown voltage element region.

摘要:
A high breakdown voltage pch-MOSFET having a breakdown voltage of 150V or more and a control element controlling the same are formed in a common n.sup.- epitaxial layer. Only an n-type region of n.sup.- epitaxial layer is distributed at a region located between the high breakdown voltage pch-MOSFET and the control element and extending along the substrate surface. A semiconductor device thus formed achieves a good throughput and reduces a required chip area.
摘要:
A high-breakdown voltage semiconductor device and a fabrication method are disclosed. A dielectric layer (3) dielectrically isolates a semiconductor substrate (1) from a n.sup.- type semiconductor layer (2). An n.sup.+ type semiconductor region (4) having a lower resistance than the n.sup.- type semiconductor layer (2) is formed as if surrounded by a p.sup.+ type semiconductor region (5). The dielectric layer (3) consists of a relatively thick first region (3a) and a relatively thin first region (3b). The n.sup.+ type semiconductor region (4), which is located above the first region (3a), occupies a narrower area than the first region (3a). Thus, by forming the dielectric layer thick immediately under the first semiconductor layer and controlling the thickness of the dielectric layer at other portions, the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device is improved without curbing RESURF effect.
摘要:
Between electrodes (9) and (10) are formed a p.sup.+ substrate (2), an n.sup.- epitaxial layer (1) having a protruding portion (3), an n.sup.+ diffusion region (4) and p.sup.+ diffusion regions (13). Control electrodes (6) are formed on insulating films (5) on opposite sides of the protruding portion (3) and n.sup.+ diffusion region (4). The potential at the control electrodes (6) is increased or decreased with the potential at an electrode (10) increased relative to an electrode (9) to generate potential barrier or conductivity modulation in the n.sup.- epitaxial layer (1), whereby a semiconductor device turns off or on. Introduced holes are drawn through the p.sup.+ diffusion regions (13) when the semiconductor device turns off, to provide a small resistance and a short distance when the holes are drawn without changes in the area of the n.sup.+ diffusion region (4). This permits the semiconductor device to have small switching loss and high switching speed with a low ON-voltage.
