    摘要: A DC/DC converter includes a pre-converter stage, which may include a charge pump, and a post-regulator stage, which may include a Buck converter. The duty factor of the post-regulator stage is controlled by a feedback path that extends from the output terminal of the DC/DC converter to an input terminal in the post-regulator stage. The pre-converter steps the input DC voltage up or down by a positive or negative integral or fractional value, and the post-regulator steps the voltage down by a variable amount depending on the duty factor at which the post-regulator is driven. The converter overcomes the problems of noise glitches, poor regulation, and instability, even near unity input-to-output voltage conversion ratios.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate includes a pair of trenches filled with a dielectric material. Dopant introduced into the mesa between the trenches is limited from diffusing laterally when the substrate is subjected to thermal processing. Therefore, semiconductor devices can be spaced more closely together on the substrate, and the packing density of the devices can be increased. Also trench constrained doped region diffuse faster and deeper than unconstrained diffusions, thereby reducing the time and temperature needed to complete a desired depth diffusion. The technique may be used for semiconductor devices such as bipolar transistors as well as isolation regions that electrically isolate the devices from each other. In one group of embodiments, a buried layer is formed at an interface between an epitaxial layer and a substrate, at a location generally below the dopant in the mesa. When the substrate is subjected to thermal processing, the buried layer diffuses upward, the dopant in the mesa diffuses downward until the two dopants merge to form an isolation region or a sinker extending downward from the surface of the epitaxial layer to the buried layer. In another embodiment, dopant is implanted between dielectrically filled trenches at a high energy up to several MeV, then diffused, combining the benefits of deep implantation and trenched constrained diffusion to achive deep diffusions with a minimal thermal budget.

    摘要: A lateral MOSFET formed in a substrate of a first conductivity type includes a gate formed atop a gate dielectric layer over a surface of the substrate, a drain region of a second conductivity type, a source region of a second conductivity type, and a body region of the first conductivity type which extends under the gate. The body region may have a non-monotonic vertical doping profile with a portion located deeper in the substrate having a higher doping concentration than a portion located shallower in the substrate. The lateral MOSFET may be drain-centric, with the source region and an optional dielectric-filled trench surrounding the drain region.
