A device comprises a first sub-collector formed in an upper portion of a substrate and a lower portion of a first epitaxial layer and a second sub-collector formed in an upper portion of the first epitaxial layer and a lower portion of a second epitaxial layer. The device further comprises a reach-through structure connecting the first and second sub-collectors and an N-well formed in a portion of the second epitaxial layer and in contact with the second sub-collector and the reach-through structure. The device further comprises N+ diffusion regions in contact with the N-well, a P+ diffusion region in contact with the N-well, and shallow trench isolation structures between the N+ and P+ diffusion regions.
摘要:
A far subcollector, or a buried doped semiconductor layer located at a depth that exceeds the range of conventional ion implantation, is formed by ion implantation of dopants into a region of an initial semiconductor substrate followed by an epitaxial growth of semiconductor material. A reachthrough region to the far subcollector is formed by outdiffusing a dopant from a doped material layer deposited in the at least one deep trench that adjoins the far subcollector. The reachthrough region may be formed surrounding the at least one deep trench or only on one side of the at least one deep trench. If the inside of the at least one trench is electrically connected to the reachthrough region, a metal contact may be formed on the doped fill material within the at least one trench. If not, a metal contact is formed on a secondary reachthrough region that contacts the reachthrough region.

A structure comprises a deep sub-collector buried in a first epitaxial layer and a near sub-collector buried in a second epitaxial layer. The structure further comprises a deep trench isolation structure isolating a region which is substantially above the deep sub-collector, a reach-through structure in contact with the near sub-collector, and a reach-through structure in contact with the deep sub-collector to provide a low-resistance shunt, which prevents COMS latch-up of a device. The method includes forming a merged triple well double epitaxy/double sub-collector structure.

A conductive light shield is formed over a first dielectric layer of a via level in a metal interconnect structure. The conductive light shield is covers a floating drain of an image sensor pixel cell. A second dielectric layer is formed over the conductive light shield and at least one via extending from a top surface of the second dielectric layer to a bottom surface of the first dielectric layer is formed in the metal interconnect structure. The conductive light shield may be formed within a contact level between a top surface of a semiconductor substrate and a first metal line level, or may be formed in any metal interconnect via level between two metal line levels. The inventive image sensor pixel cell is less prone to noise due to the blockage of light over the floating drain by the conductive light shield.

A method of making a semiconductor structure includes forming at least a first trench and a second trench having different depths in a substrate, forming a capacitor in the first trench, and forming a via in the second trench. A semiconductor structure includes a capacitor arranged in a first trench formed in a substrate and a via arranged in a second trench formed in the substrate. The first and second trenches have different depths in the substrate.

摘要:
A method for forming a lateral passive device including a dual annular electrode is disclosed. The annular electrodes formed from the method include an anode and a cathode. The annular electrodes allow anode and cathode series resistances to be optimized to the lowest values at a fixed device area. In addition, the parasitic capacitance to a bottom plate (substrate) is greatly reduced.
摘要:
A structure and a method for fabrication of the structure use a capacitor trench for a trench capacitor and a resistor trench for a trench resistor. The structure is typically a semiconductor structure. In a first instance, the capacitor trench has a linewidth dimension narrower than the resistor trench. The trench linewidth difference provides an efficient method for fabricating the trench capacitor and the trench resistor. In a second instance, the trench resistor comprises a conductor material at a periphery of the resistor trench and a resistor material at a central portion of the resistor trench.
