    摘要: A semiconductor structure, which serves as the core of a semiconductor fabrication platform, has a combination of empty-well regions and filled-well regions variously used by electronic elements, particularly insulated-gate field-effect transistors (“IGFETs”), to achieve desired electronic characteristics. A relatively small amount of semiconductor well dopant is near the top of an empty well. A considerable amount of semiconductor well dopant is near the top of a filled well. Some IGFETs (100, 102, 112, 114, 124, and 126) utilize empty wells (180, 182, 192, 194, 204, and 206) in achieving desired transistor characteristics. Other IGFETs (108, 110, 116, 118, 120, and 122) utilize filled wells (188, 190, 196, 198, 200, and 202) in achieving desired transistor characteristics. The combination of empty and filled wells enables the semiconductor fabrication platform to provide a wide variety of high-performance IGFETs from which circuit designers can select particular IGFETs for various analog and digital applications, including mixed-signal applications.

    摘要: At least one source/drain zone (140, 142, 160, or 162) of an enhancement-mode insulated-gate field-effect transistor (120 or 122) is provided with graded junction characteristics to reduce junction capacitance, thereby increasing switching speed. Each graded junction source/drain zone contains a main portion (140M, 142M, 160M, or 162M) and a more lightly doped lower portion (140L, 142L, 160L, or 162L) underlying, and vertically continuous with, the main portion. The magnitudes of the threshold voltages of a group of such transistors fabricated under the same post-layout fabrication process conditions so as to be of different channel lengths reach a maximum absolute value VTAM when the channel length is at a value LC, are at least 0.03 volt less than VTAM when the channel length is approximately 0.3 μm greater than LC, and materially decrease with increasing channel length when the channel length is approximately 1.0 μm greater than LC.

    摘要: A number of modified lateral DMOS (LDMOS) transistor arrays are formed and tested to determine if a measured value, such as a series on-resistance, substrate current, breakdown voltage, and reliability, satisfies process alignment requirements. The modified LDMOS transistor arrays are similar to standard LDMOS transistor arrays such that the results of the modified LDMOS transistor arrays can be used to predict the results of the standard LDMOS transistor arrays.

    摘要: Each of a pair of differently configured like-polarity insulated-gate field-effect transistors (40 or 42 and 240 or 242) in a semiconductor structure has a channel zone of semiconductor body material, a gate dielectric layer overlying the channel zone, and a gate electrode overlying the gate dielectric layer. For each transistor, the net dopant concentration of the body material reaches multiple local subsurface maxima below a channel surface depletion region and below largely all gate-electrode material overlying the channel zone. The transistors have source/drain zones (60 or 80) of opposite conductivity type to, and halo pocket portions of the same conductivity type as, the body material. One pocket portion (100/102 or 104) extends along both source/drain zones of one of the transistors. Another pocket portion (244 or 246) extends largely along only one of the source/drain zones of the other transistor so that it is asymmetrical.

    摘要: An IGFET (40 or 42) has a channel zone (64 or 84) situated in body material (50). Short-channel threshold voltage roll-off and punchthrough are alleviated by arranging for the net dopant concentration in the channel zone to longitudinally reach a local surface minimum at a location between the IGFET's source/drain zones (60 and 62 or 80 and 82) and by arranging for the net dopant concentration in the body material to reach a local subsurface maximum more than 0.1 μm deep into the body material but not more than 0.1 μm deep into the body material. The source/drain zones (140 and 142 or 160 and 162) of a p-channel IGFET (120 or 122) are provided with graded-junction characteristics to reduce junction capacitance, thereby increasing switching speed.
