    摘要: In accordance with an aspect of the invention, A Schottky junction field effect transistor (JFET) is created using cobalt silicide, or other Schottky material, to form the gate contact of the JFET. The structural concepts can also be applied to a standard JFET that uses N− type or P− type dopants to form the gate of the JFET. In addition, the structures allow for an improved JFET linkup with buried linkup contacts allowing improved noise and reliability performance for both conventional diffusion (N− and P− channel) JFET structures and for Schottky JFET structures. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the gate poly, as found in a standard CMOS or BiCMOS process flow, is used to perform the linkup between the source and the junction gate and/or between the drain and the junction gate of a junction filed effect transistor (JFET). Use of a bias on the gate linkup of the JFET allows an additional tuning knob for the JFET that can be optimized to trade off breakdown characteristics with reduced on resistance. In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, a patterned buried layer is used to form the back gate control for a junction field effect transistor (JFET). The structure allows a layout or buried layer pattern change to adjust the pinch-off voltage of the JFET structure. Vertical and lateral diffusion of the buried layer is used to adjust the JFET operating parameters with a simple change in the buried layer patterns. In addition, the structures allow for increased breakdown voltage by leveraging charge sharing concepts and improving channel confinement for power JFET structures. These concepts can also be applied to both N− channel and P− channel diffusion JFETs and to Schottky JFET structures.

    摘要: A method is provided for obtaining extremely fine pitch N-type and P-type stripes that form the voltage blocking region of a superjunction power device. The stripes are self-aligned and do not suffer from alignment tolerances. The self-aligned, fine pitch of the alternating stripes enables improvements in on-state resistance, while ensuring that the superjunction device is fully manufacturable. Only one masking step is required to fabricate the alternating N-type and P-type stripes.

    摘要: An improved NPN bipolar transistor integratable with CMOS FET processing is achieved. The transistor is formed on a substrate using a CMOS process and one additional masking and implant step. The CMOS N wells are used to form the collector contacts (reachthrough) and the P wells are used to form the base. N doped third wells are formed under the N wells, P wells, and shallow trench isolation regions to provide subcollectors. Since the P wells are not implanted through the STI, basewidths are reduced and current gain is increased. Gate electrode masking elements, formed over the base, separate the emitter and base contact regions, improving the emitter-to-base breakdown voltage. The CMOS source/drain N type implants then form emitters in the emitter regions and ohmic contacts in the collector contacts. The source/drain P type implants form the ohmic base contacts to complete the bipolar transistor.
