摘要:
A junction field-effect transistor (JFET) includes a substrate having a first-type semiconductor surface including a topside surface, and a top gate of a second-type formed in the semiconductor surface. A first-type drain and a first-type source are formed on opposing sides of the top gate. A first deep trench isolation region has an inner first trench wall and an outer first trench wall surrounding the top gate, the drain and the source, and extends vertically to a deep trench depth from the topside surface. A second-type sinker formed in semiconductor surface extends laterally outside the outer first trench wall. The sinker extends vertically from the topside surface to a second-type deep portion which is both below the deep trench depth and laterally inside the inner first trench wall to provide a bottom gate.
摘要:
An integrated circuit containing an extended drain MOS transistor may be formed by forming a drift region implant mask with mask fingers abutting a channel region and extending to the source/channel active area, but not extending to a drain contact active area. Dopants implanted through the exposed fingers form lateral doping striations in the substrate under the mask fingers. An average doping density of the drift region under the gate is at least 25 percent less than an average doping density of the drift region at the drain contact active area. In one embodiment, the dopants diffuse laterally to form a continuous drift region. In another embodiment, substrate material between lateral doping striations remains an opposite conductivity type from the lateral doping striations.

A transistor can be fabricated to exhibit reduced channel hot carrier effects. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for fabricating a transistor structure includes implanting a first dopant into a lightly doped drain (LDD) region to form a shallow region therein. The first dopant penetrates the substrate to a depth that is less than the LDD junction depth. A second dopant is implanted into the substrate beyond the LDD junction depth to form a source/drain region. The implantation of the second dopant overpowers a substantial portion of the first dopant to define a floating ring in the LDD region that mitigates channel hot carrier effects.
摘要:
A dual channel JFET which can be integrated in an IC without adding process steps is disclosed. Pinch-off voltage is determined by lateral width of a first, vertical, channel near the source contact. Maximum drain voltage is determined by drain to gate separation and length of a second, horizontal, channel under the gate. Pinch-off voltage and maximum drain potential are dependent on lateral dimensions of the drain and gate wells and may be independently optimized. A method of fabricating the dual channel JFET is also disclosed.
