    摘要: A trench-gate field effect transistor includes trenches extending into a silicon region of a first conductivity type, and a gate electrodes in each trench. Body regions of second conductivity type extend over the silicon region between adjacent trenches. Each body region forms a first PN junction with the silicon region, and each body region includes a silicon-germanium layer of the second conductivity type laterally extending between adjacent trenches. Source regions of the first conductivity flank the trenches, and each source region forms a second PN junction with one of the body regions. Channel regions extend in the body regions along sidewalls of the trenches between the source regions and a bottom surface of the body regions. The silicon-germanium layers extend into corresponding channel regions to thereby reduce the channel resistance.

    摘要: A field effect transistor (FET) includes a pair of trenches extending into a semiconductor region. Each trench includes a first shield electrode in a lower portion of the trench and a gate electrode in an upper portion of the trench over but insulated from the shield electrode. First and second well regions of a first conductivity type laterally extend in the semiconductor region between the pair of trenches and abut sidewalls of the pair of trenches. The first and second well regions are vertically spaced from one another by a first drift region of a second conductivity type. The gate electrode and the first shield electrode are positioned relative to the first and second well regions such that a channel is formed in each of the first and second well regions when the FET is biased in the on state.

    摘要: A field effect transistor includes body regions of a first conductivity type over a semiconductor region of a second conductivity type such that the body regions form p-n junctions with the semiconductor region. Trenches extend through the body region and terminate within the semiconductor region. Source regions of the second conductivity type extend over the body regions adjacent the trenches such that the source regions form p-n junctions with the body regions. A gate dielectric layer lines sidewalls of each trench. A metal liner lines the gate dielectric layer in each trench. A gate electrode comprising metallic material is disposed in each trench.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure which includes a trench gate FET is formed as follows. A plurality of trenches is formed in a semiconductor region using a mask. The mask includes (i) a first insulating layer over a surface of the semiconductor region, (ii) a first oxidation barrier layer over the first insulating layer, and (iii) a second insulating layer over the first oxidation barrier layer. A thick bottom dielectric (TBD) is formed along the bottom of each trench. The first oxidation barrier layer prevents formation of a dielectric layer along the surface of the semiconductor region during formation of the TBD.

    摘要: Methods are provided for reducing the aspect ratio of contacts to bit lines in fabricating an IC including logic and memory. The method includes the steps of forming a first group of device regions to be contacted by a first level of metal and a second group of memory bit lines to be contacted by a second level of metal, the first level separated from the second level by at least one layer of dielectric material. Conductive material is plated by electroless plating on the device regions and bit lines and first and second conductive plugs are formed overlying the conductive material. The first conductive plugs are contacted by the first level of metal and the second conductive plugs are contacted by the second level of metal. The thickness of the plated conductive material provides a self aligned process for reducing the aspect ratio of the conductive plugs.
