    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.

    摘要: N+-type diffusion regions, P-type diffusion region and others are formed at and near a surface of an N−-type epitaxial layer on a p-type silicon substrate. Gate electrode portions are formed on P-type diffusion region located between N−-type diffusion regions and N−-type epitaxial layer with a gate insulating film therebetween. A source electrode and a drain electrode are formed. Under a field isolating film, a P-type diffusion region is formed discretely in a direction crossing a direction of a current flow in the on state. Thereby, such a semiconductor device is obtained that rising of an on resistance can be suppressed in an on state while keeping an effect of reducing an electric field.

    摘要: A high resistance n-type base layer is formed on a silicon substrate with an insulating layer made of a silicon oxide film therebetween. In the high resistance n-type base layer a p-ch MOS transistor is formed. The p-ch MOS transistor is electrically isolated from another element by trench isolation formed of a trench. A p+ source layer in the p-ch MOS transistor surrounds a periphery of a p+ drain layer and has, for example, an elliptical planar configuration. A semiconductor device thus formed has a high drive capacity and is suitable to high integration.

    摘要: A low concentration impurity region 6 of a second conductivity type is formed to cover lower portion of a high concentration impurity region 8 of the second conductivity type. Consequently, impurity concentration gradient between the high concentration impurity region 8 of the second conductivity type and the low concentration impurity layer 2 of a first conductivity type can be made moderate to relax the electric field, which leads to provision of higher breakdown voltage of the semiconductor device. Further, the depth of impurity diffusion of the low concentration impurity region 6 of the second conductivity type from the main surface of the low concentration impurity layer 2 of the first conductivity type is made at least three times the depth of impurity diffusion of the high concentration impurity region 8 of the second conductivity type from the main surface of the low concentration impurity layer 2 of the first conductivity type. Therefore, minimum dimensions necessary for suppressing the electric field can be set in the semiconductor device, and therefore the semiconductor device comes to have higher breakdown voltage efficiently while not preventing miniaturization.

    摘要: There is disclosed an IGBT which includes an n.sup.+ layer (2A) , an n.sup.- layer (2B) , a p well region (3), an n.sup.+ diffusion region (4), a gate oxide film (5), a gate electrode (6) and an emitter electrode (8) around the upper major surface of a p.sup.+ substrate (1), similarly to conventional IGBTS. In the lower major surface of the p.sup.+ substrate (1) is formed an n.sup.+ diffusion region (10) which is adapted not to reach the n.sup.+ layer (2A) . The n.sup.+ diffusion region (10) and p.sup.+ substrate (1) are connected to a collector electrode (9) . When there is a small potential difference between the emitter and collector electrodes, holes are injected from the p.sup.+ substrate into the n.sup.- layer to provide a low ON-resistance. When the potential difference is large, a depletion layer extending from the n.sup.+ diffusion region is brought into a reach-through state to limit an increase in the amount of injected holes. This prevents the device from being broken down due to an excessively increased current density.

    摘要: A thyristor structure comprises a p.sup.+ -type substrate (21), an n-type base layer (22), a first p-type diffusion region (23) and an n.sup.+ -type diffusion region (25). A MOS structure comprises the base layer (22), first and second p-type diffusion regions (23, 24) and the n.sup.+ -type diffusion region (25). A positive voltage is applied to a gate electrode (27) to form a channel in a portion of the first diffusion region (23) just under the gate electrode (27), so that a cathode electrode (28) supplies carriers to the base layer (22) through the n.sup.+ -type diffusion region (25) and the channel, to turn on the thyristor. A negative voltage is applied to the gate electrode (27) to form a channel in a portion of the base layer (22) just under the gate electrode (27), so that the first p-type diffusion region (23) and the n.sup.+ -type diffusion region (25) are shorted through the channel, the second p-type diffusion region (24) and the cathode electrode (28), to turn off the thyristor.

    摘要: A thyristor of the present invention turns on by applying a specified voltage to a first control electrode and turns off by applying a specified voltage to a second control electrode. These first and second control electrodes are independent of each other, so that the turning-on and turning-off conditions can be determined independently. When a transistor having the second control electrode is turned on by applying the specified voltage to the second control electrode until just before the turning-on, a first main electrode and a first semiconductor region can be electrically connected, so that the back gate potential of the transistor having the first control electrode can be fixed at the potential of the first main electrode.
