    摘要: Disclosed is an arrangement for testing an embedded circuit as part of a whole circuit located on a semiconductor wafer. Disclosed is an integrated semiconductor arrangement comprising a whole circuit (8) with inputs and outputs (7), an embedded circuit (1) that is part of the whole circuit (8) and is equipped with embedded inputs and outputs which are not directly connected to the inputs and outputs (7) of the whole circuit (8); a test circuit (2, 5, 6) that is connected to the embedded inputs and outputs in order to feed and read out signals during a test phase. A separate supply voltage connection (3) is provided which is used for separately supplying the embedded circuit (1) and the test circuit (2, 5, 6) independently of a supply voltage of the whole circuit (8) such that the inputs of the whole circuit do not have to be connected for testing the embedded circuit while only the inputs and outputs that are absolutely indispensable for testing the embedded circuit need to be connected to a test system.

    摘要: In an integrated circuit, a light sensitive area is protected against radiation by arranging a light blocking layer sequence (504) on top of the light sensitive area. The light blocking layer sequence comprises one or several metal layers (504a) and a silicon layer (503b, 1) for the purpose of absorption. A moth eye structure is provided on the silicon layer. Thereby, a radiation incident by reflection is minimized in such a way that also stray light can effectively be kept from the light sensitive area below the light blocking layer sequence (504).

    摘要: It is the purpose of the invention to provide a MOS transistor (20) which guarantees a voltage as high as possible, has a required area as small as possible and which enables the integration into integrated smart power circuits. It results there from as an object of the invention to form the edge structure of the transistors such that it certainly fulfils the requirements on high breakthrough voltages, a good isolation to the surrounding region and requires a minimum of surface on the silicon disc anyway. This is achieved with an elongated MOS power transistor having drain (30) and source (28) for high rated voltages above 100V, wherein the transistor comprises an isolating trench (22) in the edge area for preventing an early electrical breakthrough below the rated voltage. The trench is lined with an isolating material (70, 72), wherein the isolating trench terminates the circuit component.

    摘要: The invention refers to an efficient process for selectively rendering a semiconductor surface antireflective which is part of integrated circuits. The antireflective effect is based interference effects of a simple layer or a layer system. For example, an oxide layer and super-imposed silicon nitride layer form the system, wherein the silicon nitride layer is deposited in an earlier phase of the fabrication of the integrated circuit as a protective layer (“silicide block layer”) and also serves as an etch stop layer for the optical window.

    摘要: The invention relates to a monolithically integrated vertical pin photodiode which is produced according to BiCMOS technology and comprises a planar surface facing the light and a rear face and anode connections located across p areas on a top face of the photodiode. An i-zone of the pin photodiode is formed by combining a low doped first p-epitaxial layer, which has maximum thickness and doping concentration, placed upon a particularly high doped p substrate, with a low doped second n− epitaxial layer that borders the first layer, and n+ cathode of the pin photodiode being integrated into the second layer. The p areas delimit the second n epitaxial layer in a latent direction while another anode connecting area of the pin diode is provided on the rear face in addition to the anode connection.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for producing structures which make it possible to form a trench insulation and to bring into contact SOI wafers provided with active thick layers and which are easily processable. For this purpose, a carrier wafer electric contact and the insulation trench are provided with components exhibiting high-blocking capability of insertion into an integrated circuit SOI wafer. A narrow trench for an insulating trench (8) and a large trench for a carrier wafer contact (9) are etched up to an insulating oxide layer (2) and are buried by a masking layer which is thicker than the buried oxide layer (2). In the large trench (9), a polysilicon spacer (12) remains on the sidewalls, respectively, in the form of a predeposited polysilicon layer (11) rest. The adjustment of the polysilicon etching makes it possible to obtain the spacer (12) provided with a desired height. At least buried oxide (2, 10) is removed by etching from the bottom of the large trench (9) in such a way that a residual oxide layer (13) remains on the surface. The deposition of a second electrically conductive filling layer (14) fills also a large insulating trench (19).
