摘要： The metal contact to the source and body regions in a vertical planar DMOSFET is formed by fabricating a sidewall spacer on the gate of the MOSFET. With the metal contact self-aligned to the gate in this way, the lateral dimension of each of the cells in the DMOSFET can be significantly reduced without the risk of a short between the contact and the gate, and the packing density of the cells can be increased. In this way, significant reductions in the on-resistance of the device can be achieved.

摘要： An MOS transistor which is suitable for use in the VHF and UHF regions is fabricated in a semiconductor substrate, with the substrate serving as the drain. A body region is formed within the substrate. A layer of insulation is formed over the surface of the device, and a via is formed in the insulation layer to expose those portions of the body region where a groove is to be cut. A groove is then formed in such a manner as to cause the insulation layer to overhang the edge of the groove. A source region is then formed in the exposed portions of the body region beneath the insulation layer. A source electrode and gate electrode are then simultaneously formed, with the overhang of the insulation layer causing the source electrode and the gate electrode to be physically and electrically separated from each other. Well known processing techniques are then used, if desired, to form a second metalization layer to serve as electrical interconnects, and to provide a scratch protection layer.In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, a lateral MOS transistor is constructed where the drain region is formed in the substrate simultaneously with the formation of the source region.

摘要： A planar DMOS power transistor (MOSFET) fabricated using only three masking steps, resulting in a significant reduction in fabrication cost. The resulting device is in terms of operations similar to prior art devices formed using more masking steps. Both the source and body regions are formed by implantations through the identical openings in the polysilicon/gate oxide layers into the substrate. After a subsequent glass layer is deposited and masked to expose openings, body contact regions are implanted into the source regions by overdosing the source region dopant concentration. The third masking step is the metal mask which also forms a termination structure.

摘要： A power MOSFET is created from a semiconductor body (2000 and 2001) having a main active area and a peripheral termination area. A first insulating layer (2002), typically of substantially uniform thickness, lies over the active and termination areas. A main polycrystalline portion (2003A/2003B) lies over the first insulating layer largely above the active area. First and second peripheral polycrystalline segments (2003C1 and 2003C2) lie over the first insulating layer above the termination area.A gate electrode (2016) contacts the main polycrystalline portion. A source electrode (2015A/2015B) contacts the active area, the termination area, and the first polycrystalline segment. An optional additional metal portion (2019) contacts the second polycrystalline segment. In this case, the second polycrystalline segment extends over a scribe-line section of the termination area so as to be scribed during a scribing operation.

摘要： A submicron channel length is achieved in cells having sharp corners, such as square cells, by blunting the corners of the cells. In this way, the three dimensional diffusion effect is minimized, and punch through is avoided. Techniques are discussed for minimizing defects in the shallow junctions used for forming the short channel, including the use of a thin dry oxide rather than a thicker steam thermal over the body contact area, a field shaping p+ diffusion to enhance breakdown voltage, and TCA gathering. Gate-source leakage is reduced with extrinsic gathering on the poly backside, and intrinsic gathering due to the choice of starting material. Five masking step and six masking step processes are also disclosed for manufacturing a power MOSFET structure. This power MOSFET structure has an active region with a plurality of active cells as well as a termination region with a field ring or a row of inactive cells and a polysilicon field plate.

摘要： A trench-gated power MOSFET contains a highly doped region in the body region which forms a PN junction diode with the drain at the center of the MOSFET cell. This diode has an avalanche breakdown voltage which is lower than the breakdown voltage of the drain-body junction near to the wall of the trench. Thus the MOSFET breaks down in the center of the cell avoiding the generation of hot carriers that could damage the gate oxide layer. The drain-body junction is located at a level which is above the bottom of the trench, thereby avoiding any deep diffusion that would increase the cell width and reduce the cell packing density. This compact structure is achieved by limiting the thermal budget to which the device is exposed after the body region is implanted. As a result, the body and its highly doped region do not diffuse significantly, and dopant from the highly doped region does not get into the channel region of the device so as to increase its threshold voltage.

摘要： An improvement in a constant current circuit comprising a metal oxide semi-conductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) integrated circuit (IC) for providing a feedback voltage indicative of current flow as a control parameter for either on-off mode or linear feedback mode. The improvement comprises the usual drain, gate and source terminals with an additional feedback terminal and dual, parallel connected FET's formed into the MOSFET IC and connected in parallel to the drain and gate terminals. One of the FET's is much larger and has a much greater current carrying capability than the second one and the second one is connected serially with a resistor, the juncture of the second field effect transistor and resistor being connected with the feedback terminal to give a voltage indicative of current flow at the drain terminal.

摘要： A trenched MOSFET in its on-state conducts current through an accumulation region and through an inverted depletion barrier layer located along the trench sidewalls. Blocking is achieved by gate control depletion of the adjacent region and by the depletion barrier layer (having the appearance of "ears" in a cross sectional view and being of opposite doping type to the adjacent region) which extends laterally from the trench sidewalls into the drift region. This MOSFET has superior on-state specific resistance to that of prior art trenched MOSFETs and also has good performance in terms of on state resistance, while having superior blocking characteristics to those of prior art trenched MOSFETs. The improvement in the blocking characteristic is provided by the depletion barrier layer which is a semiconductor doped region. In the blocking state, the depletion barrier layer is fully or almost fully depleted to prevent parasitic bipolar conduction. The shape and extent of the depletion barrier layer may be varied and more than one depletion barrier layer may be present.
