    Abstract: An apparatus and method for high-voltage transient blocking employing a transient blocking unit (TBU) that has at least one depletion mode n-channel device interconnected with at least one depletion mode p-channel device such that a transient alters a bias voltage Vp of the p-channel device and a bias voltage Vn of the n-channel device in concert. Specifically, the bias voltages are altered such that the p-channel device and n-channel device mutually switch off to block the transient. The depletion mode n-channel device employs a set of cascaded low-voltage depletion mode field effect transistors (FETs) such as metal-oxide-silicon field effect transistors (MOSFETs) connected source-to-drain to achieve the desired high-voltage operation of the TBU.

    Abstract: This invention discloses a semiconductor power device disposed in a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor power device includes trenched gates each having a stick-up gate segment extended above a top surface of the semiconductor substrate surrounded by sidewall spacers. The semiconductor power device further includes slots opened aligned with the sidewall spacers substantially parallel to the trenched gates. The stick-up gate segment further includes a cap composed of an insulation material surrounded by the sidewall spacers. A layer of barrier metal covers a top surface of the cap and over the sidewall spacers and extends above a top surface of the slots. The slots are filled with a gate material same as the gate segment for functioning as additional gate electrodes for providing a depletion layer extends toward the trenched gates whereby a drift region between the slots and the trenched gate is fully depleted at a gate-to-drain voltage Vgs=0 volt.

    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for achieving high breakdown voltage and low on-resistance in semiconductor devices that have top, intermediate and bottom regions with a controllable current path traversing any of these regions. The device has an insulating trench that is coextensive with the top and intermediate regions and girds these regions from at least one side and preferably from both or all sides. A series capacitive structure with a biased top element and a number of floating elements is disposed in the insulating trench, and the intermediate region is endowed with a capacitive property that is chosen to establish a capacitive interaction or coupling between the series capacitive structure and the intermediate region so that the breakdown voltage VBD is maximized and on-resistance is minimized. The capacitive property of the intermediate region is established by an appropriately chosen material constitution and is further controlled by a predetermined constitution of the insulating trench. The apparatus and method of invention are useful in any number of semiconductor devices including, among other, transistors, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, JFETs, thyristors and diodes.
