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.

摘要:
A semiconductor layer (10) provided on a BOX (buried oxide) layer (2) includes a first P-type region (11), an N+-type region (12), and an N−type region (13) which together form a diode. A plurality of second P-type regions (14) are provided on a bottom part of the semiconductor layer (10). A plurality of insulating oxide films (21) are interposed between the plurality of second P-type regions (14). When the diode is in a reverse-biased state, the second P-type region (14) directly below the N+-type region (12) is approximately the same in potential as the N+-type region (12). The second P-type region (14) will be lower in potential relative to this second P-type region (14) directly below the N+-type region (12), as the second P-type region (14) gets nearer to the first P-type region (11). Electric field concentration can thus be relaxed at an interface between the semiconductor layer (10) and the BOX layer (2), whereby improvement in breakdown voltage of the diode is realized.
