摘要： A zener diode capable of breakdown at much higher voltages than in the prior art is fabricated by providing a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type having an opposite conductivity type first tank disposed therein. The first tank includes relatively lower and relatively higher resistivity portions, the relatively lower doped portion isolating the relatively higher doped portion from the substrate. A first region of first conductivity type is disposed in the higher doped portion and a second region of opposite conductivity type and more highly doped than the first tank is spaced from the first region. Structure is provided between the first and second regions for repelling majority charge carriers associated with the opposite conductivity type which can be a field plate spaced from the first tank; a portion at the surface of the first tank having the first conductivity type; or a tank, of first conductivity type disposed in the first tank, abutting the first region, extending more deeply into the first tank than does the first region and more lightly doped than the first region. In accordance with a further embodiment, the diode includes a semiconductor substrate, a first tank portion disposed in the substrate and a second tank portion disposed in the first tank portion as in the prior embodiments. A first region of first conductivity type is disposed in the second tank portion and extends into the first tank portion. A second region of opposite conductivity type more highly doped than the first tank portion is disposed in the first tank portion and spaced from the first region.

摘要： An EEPROM cell (10) formed on a substrate (18) using conventional process steps is provided. The cell (10) includes first (12) and second (14) conductive regions in the substrate (18) below the substrate's outer surface (28), and the first (12) and second (14) conductive regions are laterally displaced from one another by a predetermined distance (32). The cell (10) also includes an insulating layer (20) outwardly from the outer surface (28) of the substrate (18) positioned so that its edges are substantially in alignment between the first (12) and second (14) conductive regions. The cell (10) further includes a floating gate layer (22) outwardly from the insulating layer (20) and in substantially the same shape as the insulating layer (20). The cell (10) also includes a diffusion region (24 or 26) that extends laterally from at least one of the first (12) and second (14) conductive regions so as to overlap with the insulating layer (20). The diffusion region (24 or 26) provides a source of charge for placement on the floating gate layer (22) when programming the EEPROM cell (10).

摘要： An ESD protection structure which includes, preferably a single semiconductor chip, a forward SCR for coupling across a source of potential and a reverse SCR for coupling across the same source of potential which is non-symmetrical to the forward SCR. The breakdown voltage of the forward SCR is different from the breakdown voltage of the reverse SCR. Each of the SCRs has a separate triggering mechanism. None of the anode, cathode and triggering elements of the forward SCR are common to the reverse SCR. A unidirectional device, preferably a Schottky diode, is disposed in the body of semiconductor material between the forward and reverse SCRs to prevent conduction from the body of semiconductor material when the source of potential across the SCRs is reversed.
