    摘要: A semiconductor structure and associated method for forming the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure comprises a first field effect transistor (FET), a second FET, and a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure. The first FET comprises a channel region formed from a portion of a silicon substrate, a gate dielectric formed over the channel region, and a gate electrode comprising a bottom surface in direct physical contact with the gate dielectric. A top surface of the channel region is located within a first plane and the bottom surface of the gate electrode is located within a second plane. The STI structure comprises a conductive STI fill structure. A top surface of the conductive STI fill structure is above the first plane by a first distance D1 and is above the second plane by a second distance D2 that is less than D1.

    摘要: Semiconductor structures and methods for suppressing latch-up in bulk CMOS devices. The structure comprises a first doped well formed in a substrate of semiconductor material, a second doped well formed in the substrate proximate to the first doped well, and a deep trench defined in the substrate. The deep trench includes sidewalls positioned between the first and second doped wells. A buried conductive region is defined in the semiconductor material bordering the base and the sidewalls of the deep trench. The buried conductive region intersects the first and second doped wells. The buried conductive region has a higher dopant concentration than the first and second doped wells. The buried conductive region may be formed by solid phase diffusion from a mobile dopant-containing material placed in the deep trench. After the buried conductive region is formed, the mobile dopant-containing material may optionally remain in the deep trench.

    摘要: A well isolation trenches for a CMOS device and the method for forming the same. The CMOS device includes (a) a semiconductor substrate, (b) a P well and an N well in the semiconductor substrate, (c) a well isolation region sandwiched between and in direct physical contact with the P well and the N well. The P well comprises a first shallow trench isolation (STI) region, and the N well comprises a second STI region. A bottom surface of the well isolation region is at a lower level than bottom surfaces of the first and second STI regions. When going from top to bottom of the well isolation region, an area of a horizontal cross section of the well isolation region is an essentially continuous function.
