Abstract: An integrated circuit containing CMOS transistors and an embedded thermoelectric device may be formed by forming field oxide in isolation trenches to isolate the CMOS transistors and thermoelectric elements of the embedded thermoelectric device. N-type dopants are implanted into the substrate to provide at least 1×1018 cm−3 n-type dopants in n-type thermoelectric elements and the substrate under the field oxide between the n-type thermoelectric elements. P-type dopants are implanted into the substrate to provide at least 1×1018 cm−3 p-type dopants in p-type thermoelectric elements and the substrate under the field oxide between the p-type thermoelectric elements. The n-type dopants and p-type dopants may be implanted before the field oxide are formed, after the isolation trenches for the field oxide are formed and before dielectric material is formed in the isolation trenches, and/or after the field oxide is formed.

Abstract: A semiconductor device contains a photodiode formed in a substrate of the semiconductor device. At a top surface of the substrate, over the photodiode, a surface grating of periodic field oxide in a periodic configuration and/or gate structures in a periodic configuration is formed. The field oxide may be formed using an STI process or a LOCOS process. A semiconductor device with a surface grating including both field oxide and gate structures has the gate structures over the semiconductor substrate, between the field oxide. The surface grating has a pitch length up to 3 microns. The surface grating covers at least half of the photodiode.

Abstract: This invention relates to field photodiodes based on PN junctions that suffer from dark current leakage. An NBL is added to prove a second PN junction with the anode. The second PN junction is reversed biased in order to remove dark current leakage. The present solution requires no additional masks or thin films steps relative to a conventional CMOS process flow.

Abstract: A microelectronic device, e.g. an integrated circuit, includes first and second doped semiconductor regions over a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor nanosheet layer is connected between the first and second semiconductor regions and has a bandgap greater than 1.5 eV. In some examples such a device is implemented as an LDMOS transistor. A method of forming the device includes forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type. A semiconductor nanosheet stack is formed within the trench, the stack including a semiconductor nanosheet layer and a sacrificial layer. Source and drain regions having an opposite second conductivity type are formed extending into the semiconductor nanosheet stack. The sacrificial layer between the source region and the drain region is removed, and the semiconductor nanosheet layer is annealed. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor nanosheet layer, and a gate conductor is formed on the gate dielectric layer.
