摘要:
An MOS device is formed including a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a first source/drain region of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer, and a second source/drain region of the second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer and spaced apart from the first source/drain region. A gate is formed proximate an upper surface of the semiconductor layer and at least partially between the first and second source/drain regions. The MOS device further includes at least one contact, the at least one contact including a silicide layer formed on and in electrical connection with at least a portion of the first source/drain region, the silicide layer extending laterally away from the gate. The contact further includes at least one insulating layer formed directly on the silicide layer.

A technique for forming a semiconductor structure in a semiconductor wafer includes the steps of forming an epitaxial layer on a least a portion of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and forming at least one trench in an upper surface of the semiconductor wafer and partially into the epitaxial layer. The method further includes the step of forming at least one diffusion region between a bottom wall of the trench and the substrate, the diffusion region providing an electrical path between the bottom wall of the trench and the substrate. One or more sidewalls of the trench are doped with a first impurity of a known concentration level so as to form an electrical path between an upper surface of the epitaxial layer and the at least one diffusion region. The trench is then filled with a filler material.

An MOS device includes a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a source region of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer, and a drain region of the second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer and spaced apart from the source region. A gate is formed proximate an upper surface of the semiconductor layer and at least partially between the source and drain regions. The MOS device further includes a buried LDD region of the second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer between the gate and the drain region, the buried LDD region being spaced laterally from the drain region, and a second LDD region of the first conductivity type formed in the buried LDD region and proximate the upper surface of the semiconductor layer. The second LDD region is self-aligned with the gate and spaced laterally from the gate such that the gate is non-overlapping relative to the second LDD region.

An MOS device comprises a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type and source and drain regions of a second conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer, the source and drain regions being spaced apart from one another. A drift region is formed in the semiconductor layer proximate an upper surface of the semiconductor layer and between the source and drain regions, and a insulating layer is formed on the semiconductor layer above at least a portion of the drift region. A gate is formed on the insulating layer and at least partially between the source and drift regions. The MOS device further includes a conductive structure comprising a first end formed on the insulating layer and spaced apart from the gate, and a second end formed on the insulating layer and extending laterally toward the drain region above at least a portion of the drift region. The conductive structure is configured such that a thickness of the insulating layer under the second end of the conductive structure increases as the second end extends toward the drain region.

A method of forming an oxide region in a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a plurality of trenches in a semiconductor layer of the device, the trenches being formed in close relative proximity to one another, and oxidizing the semiconductor layer such that an insulating layer is formed on at least sidewalls and bottom walls of the trenches. The trenches are configured such that the insulating layer formed as a result of the oxidizing step substantially fills the trenches and substantially consumes the semiconductor layer between corresponding pairs of adjacent trenches. In this manner, a substantially continuous oxide region is formed throughout the plurality of trenches.
摘要:
A diffused MOS device comprises one or more strained silicon portions formed in a carrier transit path of the DMOS device. The one or more strained silicon portions may comprise a layer of strained silicon, generally formed above a layer of lattice mismatch material such as silicon germanium or silicon carbide. The carrier transit path is at least partially defined by a body of the DMOS device, and may also include other regions, such as a diffusion area, channel region, or accumulation region. The one or more strained silicon portions may be formed only in selected regions of the DMOS device or may be formed as a layer throughout. The one or more strained silicon portions may be formed through patterning of a hard mask, forming a lattice mismatch layer, forming a strained silicon layer, and removing the hard mask. Trenches may also be formed prior to forming the lattice mismatch material on the patterned hard mask.
