Semiconductor device structures and related fabrication methods are provided. An exemplary method of fabricating a semiconductor device on a doped region of semiconductor material having a first conductivity type involves forming a first region having a second conductivity type within the doped region, forming a body region having the first conductivity type overlying the first region, and forming a drift region having the second conductivity type within the doped region, wherein at least a portion of the drift region abuts at least a portion of the first region. In one embodiment, the dopant concentration of the first region is less than the dopant concentration of the body region and different from the dopant concentration of the drift region.

Breakdown voltage BVdss is enhanced and ON-resistance reduced in RESURF devices, e.g., LDMOS transistors, by careful charge balancing, even when body and drift region charge balance is not ideal, by: (i) providing a plug or sinker near the drain and of the same conductivity type extending through the drift region at least into the underlying body region, and/or (ii) applying bias Viso to a surrounding lateral doped isolation wall coupled to the device buried layer, and/or (iii) providing a variable resistance bridge between the isolation wall and the drift region. The bridge may be a FET whose source-drain couple the isolation wall and drift region and whose gate receives control voltage Vc, or a resistor whose cross-section (X, Y, Z) affects its resistance and pinch-off, to set the percentage of drain voltage coupled to the buried layer via the isolation wall.

A method of testing a semiconductor wafer and a related structure. In various embodiments, a method includes: placing a probe on a first chip on the semiconductor wafer; testing a scribe line automatic built-in self-test (ABIST) for the first chip to search for a fault; progressively testing a subsequent scribe line ABIST for a subsequent chip on the semiconductor wafer in response to determining the ABIST for the first chip does not indicate the fault; moving the probe point to the subsequent chip and retesting the subsequent scribe line ABIST in response to determining the ABIST for the subsequent chip indicates a fault; and testing a further subsequent scribe line ABIST for a further subsequent chip on the semiconductor wafer in response to determining the retesting of the subsequent scribiline ABIST does not indicate a fault in the subsequent scribe line ABIST.

A method of forming an energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) writer is disclosed. A structure comprising a bottom cladding layer and a near field transducer (NFT) is provided. A patterned sacrificial layer is formed over the structure. A top cladding layer is deposited over the patterned sacrificial layer and a remaining region of the structure not covered by the patterned sacrificial layer. A patterned resist is formed over the top cladding layer.

A pulse width modulated (PWM) controller includes a triangle wave generation circuit generating a triangle wave signal to oscillate between an upper limit voltage and a lower limit voltage. The upper limit voltage and the lower limit voltage are adjustable in response to changes in the power supply voltage. A pulse generation circuit is coupled to the triangle wave generation circuit and a minimum duty cycle setting voltage, and is configured to generate a PWM pulse signal with a minimum duty cycle determined by the relative magnitude of the triangle wave signal and the minimum duty cycle reference voltage. In an embodiment, the minimum duty cycle is increased when the power supply voltage is lower than a predetermined reference voltage.
