Abstract: The present disclosure introduces, among other things, an electronic device, e.g. an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes a semiconductor substrate comprising a first doped layer of a first conductivity type. A second doped layer of the first conductivity type is located within the first doped layer. The second doped layer has first and second layer portions with a greater dopant concentration than the first doped layer, with the first layer portion being spaced apart from the second layer portion laterally with respect to a surface of the substrate. The IC further includes a lightly doped portion of the first doped layer, the lightly doped portion being located between the first and second layer portions. A dielectric isolation structure is located between the first and second layer portions, and directly contacts the lightly doped portion.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a source region. A drain region has a first conductivity type and a second dopant concentration spaced apart from the source region. A first drift region is located between the source region and the drain region and has the first conductivity type and a first dopant concentration that is lower than the second dopant concentration of the drain region. An oxide structure includes a first portion on or over the first drift region and a tapered portion between the first portion and the drain region. A substrate surface extension is between the tapered portion and the drain region. A buffer region has the first conductivity type between the first drift region and the drain region and under the tapered portion of the oxide structure. The buffer region has a third dopant concentration between the second dopant concentration and the first dopant concentration.

Abstract: A system and method for a Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor (LDMOS) with Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) in the backgate region of FET with trench contacts is provided. The backgate diffusion region of the FET is split in the middle of the source-backgate side of the LDMOS with a strip of STI. A contact can be drawn across STI strip. The contact etch can be etched through the STI fill. The contact barrier material and trench fill processes can create a metal-semiconductor contact in the outline of the STI.

Abstract: Described examples include integrated circuits, drain extended transistors and fabrication methods in which a silicide block material or other protection layer is formed on a field oxide structure above a drift region to protect the field oxide structure from damage during deglaze processing. Further described examples include a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure that laterally surrounds an active region of a semiconductor substrate, where the STI structure is laterally spaced from the oxide structure, and is formed under gate contacts of the transistor.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an IC includes providing a substrate including a semiconductor surface having well diffusions for a plurality of devices including bipolar, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), and double-diffused MOS (DMOS) devices. A polysilicon layer is deposited on a dielectric layer over the semiconductor surface, an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer is formed on the polysilicon layer, and a photoresist pattern is formed on the ARC layer. The ARC layer is etched in areas exposed by the photoresist pattern to define areas including gate areas having the ARC layer on the polysilicon layer. The photoresist pattern is removed. Polysilicon etching is performed in areas lacking the ARC layer to form polysilicon gates having a remaining ARC portion of the ARC layer thereon. A self-aligned ion implant uses the remaining ARC portion as an additional implant blocking layer for the polysilicon gates, and the remaining ARC portion is stripped.

Abstract: Described examples include integrated circuits, drain extended transistors and fabrication methods in which an oxide structure is formed over a drift region of a semiconductor substrate, and a shallow implantation process is performed using a first mask that exposes the oxide structure and a first portion of the semiconductor substrate to form a first drift region portion for connection to a body implant region. A second drift region portion is implanted in the semiconductor substrate under the oxide structure by a second implantation process using the first mask at a higher implant energy.
