    摘要: Devices, methods, and processes that improve immunity to transient voltages and reduce parasitic impedances. Immunity to unclamped inductive switching events is improved. For example, a trench-gated power MOSFET device having a SiGe source is provided, where the SiGe source reduces parasitic npn transistor gain by reducing hole current in the body or well region, thereby decreasing the likelihood of a latch-up condition. A body tie on this device can also be eliminated to reduce transistor cell size. A trench-gated power MOSFET device having a SiGe body or well region is also provided. A SiGe body reduces hole current when the body diode is turned on, thereby reducing reverse recovery power losses. Device characteristics are also improved. For example, parasitic gate impedance is reduced through the use of a poly SiGe gate, and channel resistance is reduced through the use of a SiGe layer near the device's gate.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods for making such devices that are especially suited for high-frequency applications are described. The semiconductor devices combine a SIT (or a junction field-effect transistor [JFET]) architecture with a PN super-junction structure. The SIT architecture can be made using a trench formation containing a gate that is sandwiched between thick dielectric layers. While the gate is vertically sandwiched between the two isolating regions in the trench, it is also connected to a region of one conductivity type of the super-junction structure, thereby allowing control of the current path of the semiconductor device. Such semiconductor devices have a lower specific resistance and capacitance relative to conventional planar gate and recessed gate SIT semiconductor devices. Other embodiments are described.

    摘要: A high voltage semiconductor device, such as a RESURF transistor, having improved properties, including reduced on state resistance. The device includes a semiconductor substrate; a source region and a drain region provided in the substrate; wherein the source region and the drain region are laterally spaced from each other; and a drift region in the substrate between the source region and the drain region. The drift region includes a structure having at least two spaced trench capacitors extending between the source region and the drain region; and further includes a stack having at least a first region of a first conductivity type, a second region of a second conductivity type, and a third region of the first conductivity type, wherein the stack extends between the source region and the drain region and between the at least first and second trench capacitors and in electrical connection to the first and second trench capacitors. When the device is in an on state, current flows between the source and drain regions through the second region of the second conductivity type; and, when the device is in an off/blocking state, the second conductivity region is depleted four ways into the first and third regions of the stack and into the first and second trench capacitors.
