    摘要: An improved MOS photodetector having polysilicon gate material which is made more transparent to visible light by the addition of up to 50% carbon, and preferably about 10% carbon. The surfaces of the polysilicon-carbon gates are oxidized to form a silicon dioxide dielectric layer, thus eliminating the need to deposit a separate dielectric layer for isolation of adjacent gates in an overlapping gate array. The elimination of a separate dielectric layer permits all gates to be formed directly on the substrate dielectric layer, thus providing a uniform drive voltage requirement across the array.

    摘要: A structure for use in a static induction transistor includes a semiconductor body having first and second semiconductor layers on a substrate, with the second layer having a dopant concentration of around an order of magnitude higher than the dopant concentration of the first layer. A plurality of sources are located on the second layer. A plurality of gates are ion implanted in the second layer, an end one of the gates being connected to all of the plurality of gates and constituting a gate bus. The gate bus has an extension connecting the gate bus in the second layer of higher dopant concentration to the first layer of lower dopant concentration. The extension is ion implanted in either a series of steps or a sloping surface which is formed in the first and second layers.

    摘要: A capacitive type MEMS switch having a conductor arrangement comprised of first and second RF conductors deposited on a substrate. A bridge member having a central enlarged portion is positioned over the conductor arrangement. In one embodiment, the first RF conductor has an end defining an open area in which is positioned a pull down electrode, with the end of the first RF conductor substantially surrounding the pull down electrode. In another embodiment, two opposed RF conductors, each having ends with first and second branches, define an open area in which a pull down electrode is positioned. A dielectric layer is deposited on the conductor arrangement such that when a pull down voltage is applied to the pull down electrode, the switch impedance is significantly reduced so as to allow signal propagation between the RF conductors.

    摘要: A process for forming an insulating layer of silicon dioxide in a silicon substrate that surrounds and electrically insulates a semiconductor device is disclosed herein. The process comprises the steps of forming a recess on the outer surface of the silicon substrate that encompasses the site of the semiconductor device by photo-resist patterned reactive ion etching, and then removing silicon on the surface of the resulting recess whose crystal structure has been damaged by the reactive ion etching. Next, dopant atoms are selectively deposited on the surface of the recess so that the surface of the recess might be rendered into a porous layer of silicon when immersed in hydrogen fluoride and subjected to an electrical current. Prior to the porousification step, silicon is epitaxially grown within the walls of the recess to form the site for a semiconductor device. The substrate is then immersed in hydrogen fluoride while a current is conducted through it in order to porousify the silicon between the device island and the rest of the substrate. Finally, the substrate is thermally oxidized in order to render the porous layer of silicon into a insulating layer of silicon dioxide. The provision of such individual insulating layers around each of the devices on the substrate allows the manufacture of a high density and radiation hard semiconductor array that is not susceptible to electrical current leakage between components.

    摘要: Systems and methods for maximizing the breakdown voltage of a semiconductor device are described. In a multiple floating guard ring design, the spacing between two consecutive sets of floating guard rings may increase with their distance from the main junction while maintaining depletion region overlap, thereby alleviating crowding and optimally spreading the electric field leading to a breakdown voltage that is close to the intrinsic material limit. In another exemplary embodiment, fabrication of floating guard rings simultaneously with the formation of another semiconductor feature allows precise positioning of the first floating guard ring with respect to the edge of a main junction, as well as precise control of floating guard ring widths and spacings. In yet another exemplary embodiment, design of the vertical separation between doped regions of a semiconductor device adjusts the device's gate-to-source breakdown voltage without affecting the device's pinch-off voltage.
