Abstract:
An integrated circuit including an isolated device which is isolated with a lower buried layer combined with deep trench isolation. An upper buried layer, with the same conductivity type as the substrate, is disposed over the lower buried layer, so that electrical contact to the lower buried layer is made at a perimeter of the isolated device. The deep trench isolation laterally surrounds the isolated device. Electrical contact to the lower buried layer sufficient to maintain a desired bias to the lower buried layer is made along less than half of the perimeter of the isolated device, between the upper buried layer and the deep trench.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a vertical drain extended MOS transistor with deep trench structures to define a vertical drift region and at least one vertical drain contact region, separated from the vertical drift region by at least one instance of the deep trench structures. Dopants are implanted into the vertical drain contact regions and the semiconductor device is annealed so that the implanted dopants diffuse proximate to a bottom of the deep trench structures. The vertical drain contact regions make electrical contact to the proximate vertical drift region at the bottom of the intervening deep trench structure. At least one gate, body region and source region are formed above the drift region at, or proximate to, a top surface of a substrate of the semiconductor device. The deep trench structures are spaced so as to form RESURF regions for the drift region.
