A semiconductor device with substrate-side exposed device-side electrode (SEDE) is disclosed. The semiconductor device has semiconductor substrate (SCS) with device-side, substrate-side and semiconductor device region (SDR) at device-side. Device-side electrodes (DSE) are formed for device operation. A through substrate trench (TST) is extended through SCS, reaching a DSE turning it into an SEDE. The SEDE can be interconnected via conductive interconnector through TST. A substrate-side electrode (SSE) and a windowed substrate-side passivation (SSPV) atop SSE can be included. The SSPV defines an area of SSE for spreading solder material during device packaging. A device-side passivation (DSPV) beneath thus covering the device-side of SEDE can be included. A DSE can also include an extended support ledge, stacked below an SEDE, for structurally supporting it during post-wafer processing packaging. The projected footprint of extended support ledge onto the major SCS plane can essentially enclose the correspondingly projected footprint of SEDE.

A lateral superjunction MOSFET device includes a gate structure, a first column connected to the lateral superjunction structure and a second column disposed in close proximity to the first column. The lateral superjunction MOSFET device includes the first column to receive current from the channel when the MOSFET is turned on and to distribute the channel current to the lateral superjunction structure functioning as the drain drift region. The second column disposed near the first column is used to pinch off the first column when the MOSFET device is to be turned off and to block the high voltage being sustained by the MOSFET device at the drain terminal from reaching the gate structure. In some embodiments, the lateral superjunction MOSFET device further includes termination structures for the drain, source and body contact doped region fingers.

A Schottky diode includes first and second trenches formed in a semiconductor layer where the first and second trenches are lined with a thin dielectric layer and filled partially with a trench conductor layer with the remaining portion being filled with a first dielectric layer. Well regions are formed spaced-apart in a top portion of the semiconductor layer between the first and second trenches. A Schottky metal layer is formed on a top surface of the semiconductor layer between the first and second trenches. The Schottky diode is formed with the Schottky metal layer as the anode and the semiconductor layer between the first and second trenches as the cathode. The trench conductor layer in the first and second trenches is electrically connected to the anode of the Schottky diode. In one embodiment, the Schottky diode is formed integrated with a trench field effect transistor on the same semiconductor substrate.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe a trench MOSFET with a channel length that may be controlled by counterdoping the body-drain junction to form a straggle region adjacent to the trenches. The channel length is defined between the straggle region at the bottom and a source region at the top. Both of the straggle region and the source region are of the same conductivity type though they may be different ion species. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

An efficient, cost effective power driver for OLED panels is configured with a small BOM without compromising the display quality. The power driver adopts only one Inverting Buck-Boost Converter (IBBC) to regulate the necessary output voltage for the OLED panel load. The output voltage to drive the OLED panel load is supplied by the IBBC and the positive input of the OLED panel is tied into the input power supply of VIN directly without any switch. A DC-DC converter is provided to generate a reference ground and drive the associated control circuits. The input DC voltage VIN is utilized as a reference voltage for both the IBBC and the DC-DC converter.
