A field effect transistor semiconductor device configuration is described, which is particularly suitable for use in DC: DC converters associated with logic circuitry. The device includes a first gate electrode (18) which extends adjacent to its channel-accommodating region (14) and a second, dummy gate electrode (30) which extends adjacent to the drain drift region (12). The second gate electrode is electrically connected to the first gate electrode and serves to reduce the on-resistance of the device and improve its reliability by reducing hot carrier degradation.

A self-aligned drain region (12a) is provided below the device trench (18). The manufacturing methods include etching an initial trench into a semiconductor body (8), and annealing so as to cause migration of material such that a shallower trench with a cavity (36) below it are formed. The drain region is then formed in the cavity.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a bipolar transistor on a semiconductor substrate (11) which is provided with a first, a second and a third layer (1,2,3) of a first, second and third semiconductor material respectively, all of a first conductivity type. A first portion of the second layer (2) is transformed into a buried isolation region (15) comprising a first electrically insulating material. A first semiconductor region (6) of the first conductivity type, comprising, for example, a collector region, is formed from a second portion of the second layer (2) adjoining the buried isolation region (15) and a portion of the first layer (1) adjoining the second portion of the second layer (2). Then a base region (7) is formed on the buried isolation region (15) and on the first semiconductor region (6) by transforming the third layer (3) into a second conductivity type, which is opposite to the first conductivity type. Thereafter a second semiconductor region (8) of the first conductivity type, comprising, for example, an emitter region, is formed on a part of the base region (7). This method provides for the formation of a bipolar transistor with an advantageous decrease of the extrinsic collector to base region (6,7) capacitance by the fact that the value of this capacitance is mainly determined by the buried isolation region (15) which has a substantially lower dielectric constant than that of the collector to base region (6,7) junction.

A method of making a semiconductor device includes forming shallow trench isolation structures (14) in a semiconductor device layer. The shallow trench isolation structures are U- or O-shaped enclosing field regions (28) formed of the semiconductor device layer which is doped and/or suicided to be conducting. The semiconductor device may include an extended drain region (50) or drift region and a drain region (42). An insulated gate (26) may be provided over the body region. A source region (34, 40) may be shaped to have a deep source region (40) and a shallow source region (34). A contact region (60) of the same conductivity type as the body may be provided adjacent to the deep source region (40). The body extends under the shallow source region (34) to contact the contact region (60).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a FinFET with separate gates and to a method for fabricating the same. A dielectric gate-separation layer between first and second gate electrodes has an extension in a direction pointing from a first to a second gate layer that is smaller than a lateral extension of the fin between its opposite lateral faces. This structure corresponds with a processing method that starts from a covered basic FinFET structure with a continuous first gate layer, and proceeds to remove parts of the first gate layer and of a first gate-isolation layer through a contact opening to the gate layer. Subsequently, a replacement gate-isolation layer that at the same time forms the gate separation layer fabricated, followed by filling the tunnel with a replacement gate layer and a metal filling.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device (10) comprising a substrate (11) and a semiconductor body (12) in which at least one semiconductor element (1) is formed, wherein on the substrate (11) a semiconductor layer (2) is formed comprising a mixed crystal of silicon and germanium, further called the silicon-germanium layer (2) and having a lower surface close to the substrate (11) and an upper surface more remote from the substrate (11), and wherein the silicon-germanium layer (2) is subjected to an oxidizing treatment at a surface of the silicon-germanium layer (2) while the other surface of the silicon-germanium layer (2) is protected against the oxidizing treatment by a blocking layer (3). According to the invention, the blocking layer (3) is formed on the upper surface of the silicon-germanium layer (2), a cavity (5) is formed in the semiconductor body below the silicon-germanium layer (2) and the lower surface of the silicon-germanium layer (2) is subjected to the oxidizing treatment through the cavity (2). In this way, a device 10 may be obtained in which the surface of the silicon-germanium layer (2) after the oxidizing treatment does not suffer from roughening and/or germanium pile up. This enables e.g. to manufacture in particular a MOSFET on top of or in the silicon-germanium layer (2) with excellent properties and high yield.

A semiconductor device includes at least one active component (18) having a p-n junction (26) on the semiconductor substrate in an active region (19) of the semiconductor substrate (4). A shallow trench isolation pattern is used to form a plurality of longitudinally extending shallow trenches (12) containing insulator (14). These trenches define a plurality of longitudinal active stripes (10) between the shallow trenches (12). The shallow trench isolation depth (dsπ) is greater than the junction depth (dsO of the longitudinal active stripes and the width (wsO of the active stripes (10) is less than the depletion length (ldepi) of the p-n junction.
