摘要:
A PNPN semiconductor switch including an N type semiconductor substrate, spaced apart first and second P type diffused regions formed on a surface of an N type substrate, spaced apart first and second N type diffused regions formed in the second P type diffused region, a first gate insulating layer formed on the surface of the second P type diffused region between the first and second N type diffused regions to cover portions thereof, a first gate electrode formed on the first gate insulating layer between the first and second N type diffused regions, a resistance region disposed on the first gate insulating layer, one end of the resistance region on the side opposite to the first gate electrode, a second gate insulating layer overlying the first gate electrode and the resistance region, a semiinsulating layer formed on the surface of the substrate except over the first and second P type diffused regions, an insulating layer overlying the semiinsulating layer, a P gate electrode electrically connected to the second P type diffused region and the second N type diffused region, a second gate electrode formed on the second gate insulating layer at a portion above the first gate electrode, a cathode electrode connected to the first N type diffused region, an anode electrode connected to the first P type diffused region and the second gate electrode and a high resistance region formed immediately beneath the first gate insulating layer and between the first and second N type diffused regions.
摘要:
In a planer type PNPN semiconductor switch having a MOS FET structure, a field plate electrode is embedded in an insulator covering a surface of a semiconductor substrate to overlie an interface between the semiconductor substrate and a P gate region for limiting an extention of a depletion layer from an anode region to a P gate region.
