摘要： Exemplary embodiments provide manufacturing methods for forming a doped region in a semiconductor. Specifically, the doped region can be formed by multiple ion implantation processes using a patterned photoresist (PR) layer as a mask. The patterned PR layer can be formed using a hard-bakeless photolithography process by removing a hard-bake step to improve the profile of the patterned PR layer. The multiple ion implantation processes can be performed in a sequence of, implanting a first dopant species using a high energy; implanting the first dopant species using a reduced energy and an increased implant angle (e.g., about 90 or higher); and implanting a second dopant species using a reduced energy. In various embodiments, the doped region can be used as a double diffused region for LDMOS transistors.

摘要： Embodiments provide a method and device for electrically monitoring trench depths in semiconductor devices. To electrically measure a trench depth, a pinch resistor can be formed in a deep well region on a semiconductor substrate. A trench can then be formed in the pinch resistor. The trench depth can be determined by an electrical test of the pinch resistor. The disclosed method and device can provide statistical data analysis across a wafer and can be implemented in production scribe lanes as a process monitor. The disclosed method can also be useful for determining device performance of LDMOS transistors. The on-state resistance (Rdson) of the LDMOS transistors can be correlated to the electrical measurement of the trench depth.

摘要： A buried layer architecture which includes a floating buried layer structure adjacent to a high voltage buried layer connected to a deep well of the same conductivity type for components in an IC is disclosed. The floating buried layer structure surrounds the high voltage buried layer and extends a depletion region of the buried layer to reduce a peak electric field at lateral edges of the buried layer. When the size and spacing of the floating buried layer structure are optimized, the well connected to the buried layer may be biased to 100 volts without breakdown. Adding a second floating buried layer structure surrounding the first floating buried layer structure allows operation of the buried layer up to 140 volts. The buried layer architecture with the floating buried layer structure may be incorporated into a DEPMOS transistor, an LDMOS transistor, a buried collector npn bipolar transistor and an isolated CMOS circuit.

摘要： A high voltage diode in which the n-type cathode is surrounded by an uncontacted heavily doped n-type ring to reflect injected holes back into the cathode region for recombination or collection is disclosed. The dopant density in the heavily doped n-type ring is preferably 100 to 10,000 times the dopant density in the cathode. The heavily doped n-type region will typically connect to an n-type buried layer under the cathode. The heavily doped n-type ring is optimally positioned at least one hole diffusion length from cathode contacts. The disclosed high voltage diode may be integrated into an integrated circuit without adding process steps.
