摘要:
A high density, mixed technology integrated circuit comprises CMOS structures and bipolar lateral transistors, the electrical efficiency and Early voltage of which are maintained high by forming "well" regions through the collector area. The operation determines the formation of a "collector extension region" extending relatively deep within the epitaxial layer so as to intercept the emitter current and gather it to the collector, subtracting it from dispersion toward the substrate through the adjacent isolation junctions surrounding the region of the lateral bipolar transistor. Under comparable conditions, the ratio between IcIsubstrate is incremented from about 8 to about 300 and the Early voltage from about 20V to about 100V. The V.sub.CEO, BV.sub.CBO and BV.sub.CDES voltages are also advantageously increased by the presence of said "well" region formed in the collector zone.
摘要:
The breakdown voltage of a VDMOS transistor is markedly increased without depressing other electrical characteristics of the device by tying the potential of a field-isolation diffusion, formed under the edge portion of a strip of field oxide separating a matrix of source cells from a drain diffusion, to the source potential of the transistor. This may be achieved by extending a body region of a peripheral source cell every given number of peripheral cells facing the strip of field-isolation structure until it intersects said field-isolation diffusion. By so connecting one peripheral source cell every given number of cells, the actual decrement of the overall channel width of the integrated transistor is negligible, thus leaving unaltered the electrical characteristics of the power transistor.

Complementary LDMOS and MOS structures and vertical PNP transistors capable of withstanding a relatively high voltage may be realized in a mixed-technology integrated circuit of the so-called “smart power” type, by forming a phosphorus doped n-region of a similar diffusion profile, respectively in: The drain zone of the n-channel LDMOS transistors, in the body zone of the p-channel LDMOS transistors forming first CMOS structures; in the drain zone of n-channel MOS transistors belonging to second CMOS structures and in a base region near the emitter region of isolated collector, vertical PNP transistors, thus simultaneously achieving the result of increasing the voltage withstanding ability of all these monolithically integrated structures. The complementary LDMOS structures may be used either as power structures having a reduced conduction resistance or may be used for realizing CMOS stages capable of operating at a relatively high voltage (of about 20V) thus permitting a direct interfacing with VDMOS power devices without requiring any “level shifting” stages. The whole integrated circuit has less interfacing problems and improved electrical and reliability characteristics.

摘要:
The disclosed bridge circuit is fabricated using power MOS technology. Common terminals of the bridge circuit are integrated into common regions in the implementation. Electrodes, typically coupled together in the bridge circuit, are implemented by a shared conducting region in the integrated circuit of the semiconductor chip. By integrating the elements of the circuit, less area of the semiconductor chip is required as compared to an implementation involving 4 (four) discrete elements. Diodes are fabricated across the transistors to protect the elements against reverse biasing.

摘要:
A process for the manufacturing of an integrated circuit having DMOS-technology power devices and non-volatile memory cells provides for forming respective laterally displaced isolated semiconductor regions, electrically insulated from each other and from a common semiconductor substrate, inside which the devices will be formed; forming conductive gate regions for the DMOS-technology power devices and for the memory cells over the respective isolated semiconductor regions. Inside the isolated semiconductor regions for the DMOS-technology power devices, channel regions extending under the insulated gate regions are formed. The channel regions are formed by an implantation of a dopant along directions tilted of a prescribed angle with respect to a direction orthogonal to a top surface of the integrated circuit, in a dose and with an energy such that the channel regions are formed directly after the implantation of the dopant without performing a thermal diffusion at a high temperature of the dopant.

摘要:
An improved fabrication process for vertical DMOS cells contemplates the prior definition of the gate areas by placing a polycrystalline silicon gate electrode and utilizing the gate electrode itself as a mask for implanting and diffusing the body regions, while forming the short region is carried out using self-alignment techniques which permit an easy control of the lateral extention of the region itself. A noncritical mask defines the zone where the short circuiting contact between the source electrode and the source and body regions in the middle of the DMOS cell will be made, also allowing the forming the source region. Opening of the relative contact is also effected by a self alignment technique, further simplifying the process.
