Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus includes a MOS transistor having a semiconductor substrate providing as a channel region between a source and a drain. A gate electrode is formed on the semiconductor substrate via a gate oxide film. A threshold voltage of the source side region of the MOS transistor is higher than that of the drain side region in a longitudinal direction of the channel region so that a saturation drain current can be constant and a λ performance can be improved while suppressing channel width and length.

The voltage regulator comprises a p-channel MOS transistor at a voltage input terminal Vin and a p-channel MOS transistor at a voltage output terminal Vout. A drain of the input side p-channel MOS transistor is connected to the voltage input terminal Vin. A threshold voltage or a voltage lower than the threshold voltage is applied to a gate of the input side p-channel MOS transistor. A drain of the output side p-channel MOS transistor is connected to the voltage output terminal Vout. A current flowing through the input side p-channel MOS transistor drives a voltage regulator circuit and the output side p-channel MOS transistor.

A semiconductor device, methods for manufacturing the semiconductor device, and an integrated circuit including the semiconductor device are disclosed. The semiconductor device includes an LDMOS transistor and a MOS transistor, both formed simultaneously on a same substrate. The gate electrodes and the gate oxide layers of the LDMOS and the MOS are formed independently from one another. The source and drain regions of the LDMOS and the MOS are respectively formed in a self-aligned manner. In this way, the LDMOS and the MOS can be formed, in an effective manner, while sustaining the respective desired characteristics.
