    摘要: A high-voltage field-effect device contains an extended drain or “drift” region having a plurality of JFET regions separated by portions of the drift region. Each of the JFET regions is filled with material of an opposite conductivity type to that of the drift region, and at least two sides of each JFET region is lined with an oxide layer. In one group of embodiments the JFET regions extend from the surface of an epitaxial layer to an interface between the epitaxial layer and an underlying substrate, and the walls of each JFET region are lined with an oxide layer. When the device is blocking a voltage in the off condition, the semiconductor material inside the JFET regions and in the drift region that separates the JFET regions is depleted. This improves the voltage-blocking ability of the device while conserving chip area. The oxide layer prevents dopant from the JFET regions from diffusing into the drift region and allowing the JFET regions to be accurately located in the drift region.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a field shield region that is doped opposite to the conductivity of the substrate and is bounded laterally by dielectric sidewall spacers and from below by a PN junction. For example, in a trench-gated MOSFET the field shield region may be located beneath the trench and may be electrically connected to the source region. When the MOSFET is reverse-biased, depletion regions extend from the dielectric sidewall spacers into the “drift” region, shielding the gate oxide from high electric fields and increasing the avalanche breakdown voltage of the device. This permits the drift region to be more heavily doped and reduces the on-resistance of the device. It also allows the use of a thin, 20 Å gate oxide for a power MOSFET that is to be switched with a 1V signal applied to its gate while being able to block over 30V applied across its drain and source electrodes, for example.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes a trench formed in an epitaxial layer that overlies a semiconductor substrate, the sides of the trench being lined with an oxide layer. The trench is filled with a conductive material, e.g., a metal or heavily-doped polysilicon, and the conductive is in contact with the substrate or a doped region in the substrate or epitaxial layer. The structure expands far less horizontally than conventional diffusions and therefore allows a higher packing density of devices formed in the epitaxial layer. The structure may be used in place of conventional sinkers and isolation diffusions.

    摘要: A termination structure (located along a transistor perimeter or a die edge) for a trenched MOSFET or other semiconductor device prevents the undesirable surface channelling phenomena without the need for any additional masking steps to form a channel stop. This structure is especially applicable to P-channel MOSFETs. In the prior art a mask defines a doped channel stop. Instead here, a blanket ion implantation of P-type ions is performed after the active area masking process. Thus this doped channel stop termination is in effect masked during fabrication by the field oxide. In another version the channel stop termination is an additional trench formed in the termination region of the MOSFET. The trench is conventionally lined with oxide and filled with a conductive polysilicon field plate which extends to the edge of the die. In another version, the doped and trenched channel stops are used in combination. The channel stops are enhanced by provision of field plates overlying them on the die surface.

    摘要: A device for protecting battery-powered semiconductor devices and the like against a reverse battery condition. During normal operation a charge pump charges the gate of a power MOSFET, turning the MOSFET on and providing a low-resistance power supply path from the battery to the load. If the battery is reversed, a depletion mode device shorts the gate and source of the MOSFET, turning it off and disconnecting the load from the battery.

    摘要: The present invention provides a gate buffer region between a gate shield region and active cells of a power device. This gate buffer region may, for example, be a relatively narrow, strip-like doped region which extends into an epitaxial layer from an upper surface of the epitaxial layer. The gate shield region is connected to a source electrode of the power device via a relatively high impedance connection. The gate buffer region, on the other hand, is connected to the source electrode with a relatively low impedance connection. This relatively low impedance connection may, for example, be a substantially direct metallized connection from a metal source electrode to the gate buffer region at the surface of the epitaxial layer.
