    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that prevents the formation of a vertical bird's beak structure in the manufacture of a semiconductor device. A polysilicon filled trench is formed in a substrate of the semiconductor device. One or more composite layers are then applied over the trench and the substrate. A mask and etch process is then applied to etch the composite layers adjacent to the polysilicon filled trench. A field oxide process is applied to form field oxide portions in the substrate adjacent to the trench. Because no field oxide is placed over the trench there is no formation of a vertical bird's beak structure. A gate oxide layer is applied and a protection cap is formed over the polysilicon filled trench to protect the trench from unwanted effects of subsequent processing steps.

    Abstract: A test structure and testing method are provided for characterizing the time-dependent drift in the parasitic PFET leakage current that flows along the sidewall of a deep trench isolation structure from the P-type active area to the P-type substrate in a semiconductor integrated circuit structure. The capacitive coupling characteristics of the deep trench isolation structure are used to control the electrical “bias” of the deep trench structure through the use of a large auxiliary trench mesh network that is formed as part of the deep trench structure. The trench mesh network can be placed adjacent to a Vdd ring or a ground ring and then, by using a ratioed capacitive voltage dividing network, the electrical potential at the trench can be controlled.

    Abstract: An LDMOS structure which provides for reduced hot carrier effects. The reduction in hot carrier effects is achieved by increasing the size of the drain region of the LDMOS relative to the size of the source region. The larger size of the drain region reduces the concentration of electrons entering the drain region. This reduction in the concentration of electrons reduces the number of impact ionizations, which in turn reduces the hot carrier effects. The overall performance of the LDMOS is improved by reducing the hot carrier effects.

    Abstract: The trench leakage current of a deep trench isolation structure is measured. The deep trench isolation structure, which is filled with polysilicon, contacts both a first region of a first conductivity type and a second region of a second conductivity type, and is proximate to a third region of the first conductivity type formed in the second region. Test voltages are applied to the structures and the leakage current is measured.
