摘要:
An electro-luminescent material and solid state electro-luminescent device comprising a mixed material layer formed of a mixture of silicon and silicon oxide doped with rare earth ions so as to show intense room-temperature photo- and electro-luminescence is described. The luminescence is due to internal transitions of the rare earth ions. The mixed material layer has an oxygen content ranging from 1 to 65 atomic % and is produced by vapor deposition and rare earth ions implant. A separated implant with elements of the V or III column of the periodic table of elements gives rise to a PN junction. The so obtained structure is then subjected to thermal treatment in the range 400.degree.-1100.degree. C.

A power device integrated structure includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type superimposed over the substrate, a plurality of first doped regions of the first conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer, and a respective plurality of second doped regions of the second conductivity type formed inside the first doped regions. The power device includes: a power MOSFET having a fisrt electrode region formed by the second doped regions and a second electrode region formed by the semiconductor layer; a first bipolar junction transistor having an emitter, a base and a collector respectively formed by the substrate, the semiconductor layer and the first doped regions; and a second bipolar junction transistor having an emitter, a base and a collector respectively formed by the second doped regions, the first doped regions and the semiconductor layer. The doping profiles of the semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor layer, the first doped regions and the second doped regions are such that the first and second bipolar junction transistors have respective first and second common base current gains sufficiently high to cause the bipolar junction transistors to be biased in the high injection region, so that carriers are injected from the substrate into the semiconductor layer and from the second doped regions, through the first doped regions, into the semiconductor layer to modulate the conductivity of the second electrode of the power MOSFET; the fast and second common base current gains summed are less than unity to prevent a parasitic thyristor from triggering on.

Each respective first metallic track is connected to a control electrode of the elementary power component contained within the semiconductor chip regions surrounded by the respective first metallic track. Plural second metallic tracks extend spaced apart from and between the plural first metallic tracks to form a lattice configuration on the second surface of the semiconductor slice. Plural fuse elements, for selectively isolating defective elementary power components, are located on the second surface of the semiconductor slice and connect the first and second metallic tracks.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of high voltage semiconductor devices with at least one planar junction with a variable charge concentration.The method consists in doping with impurities of a same type, in a region of monocrystalline semiconductor material, a first zone, and then a second zone which comprises the first, and so on, and in carrying out a subsequent heat treatment so as to provide a planar junction with a stepped profile and a concentration of impurities which decreases from the center to the periphery in a predetemined range. In this way the intensity of the surface electric field, when the junction is reverse biased, is reduced as a result of which it is possible to provide planar junctions having very high breakdown voltages of some thousands of volts.
