Abstract:
The problems normally linked to the creation of a power stage using BJT transistors are overcome realizing the power stage with BMFET transistors.
Abstract:
The process calls for determination of the contact areas occupied by the collector, emitter and base implantations by selective removal of a layer of oxidation resistant material only from said contact areas and not from the separating zones between said areas.
Abstract:
The device uses the horizontal insulating region and the buried layer as the power transistor base and emitter respectively. An epitaxial growth is interposed between the two diffusions needed to form the aforesaid regions and those needed to create the base and the emitter of the transistor of the integrated control circuit.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for formation of a high voltage monolithic semiconductor device that contains at least one power transistor and an integrated control circuit integrated in a single chip. The device is formed by means of a triple epitaxy which utilizes the same doping agent and by growth of the third epitaxial layer with a concentration of impurities greater than the previous ones. By spreading the buried layers till they penetrate inside the third epitaxial layer, collector regions of transistors in the integrated control circuit are obtained free of unwanted intermediate layers or phantom layers caused by the outdiffusion of doping substance present in the heavily doped isolation region with conductivity of the opposite type. Finally PN junctions are formed for the collector region of a power transistor and for the isolation zone of the integrated control circuit, capable of withstanding high voltages.
