摘要:
A highly reliable semiconductor device having a planar junction, which comprises a main junction and a plurality of field limiting ring regions surrounding the main junction, and an electrically floating conductive layer to completely cover that part of the surface of an n.sup.- layer between the main junction and the nearest field limiting ring region thereto through an insulating layer to suppress influences by external factors such as charged particles, etc. In accordance with such a structured device, when a voltage for making the main junction into a reverse bias state is applied, the potential of the conductive layer becomes fixed to an intermediate potential between the main junction and the nearest field limiting ring region thereto and plays a role of shield effect. In fact, even if the device is incorporated into a resin-sealed package and subjected to reliability tests (high temperature DC reverse bias tests), the breakdown voltage is not changed at all. Also, rather than effecting a device in which the conductive layer is electrically floating, the conductive layer which covers an overlying area between the main junction and the nearest field limiting ring region thereto can be electrically connected to the nearest field limiting ring.

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having an n-type semiconductor region forming one of the main surfaces of a semiconductor substrate, with a plurality of p-type semiconductor regions formed in the n-type semiconductor region. Two exposed n-type semiconductor regions are formed on each of the p-type semiconductor regions, with a main electrode formed on the n-type semiconductor regions and the exposed p-type semiconductor region therebetween. An insulated gate extends from one of the n-type semiconductor regions in one of the p-type semiconductor regions to a closer one of the n-type semiconductor regions in an adjacent p-type semiconductor region. The length of the insulated gate is longer than a distance between adjacent insulated gates.

The present invention is directed to a semiconductor device which can achieve high current density and which has a high reliability. In the insulated gate semiconductor device according to the present invention, a plurality of insulating gates are provided, with each two adjacent insulating gates being spaced from each other, the insulating gates being provided on a second semiconductor region of a first conductivity type. A first semiconductor region, of the same or different conductivity type from that of the second semiconductor region, extends from a surface of the second semiconductor region opposed to the surface thereof having the insulating gates thereon. A plurality of third semiconductor regions are provided in the second semiconductor region, between the insulating gates and aligned therewith, and two fourth semiconductor regions are provided extending into each of the third semiconductor regions, aligned with the sides of adjacent insulating gates. Electrodes are respectively provided in contact with the first semiconductor region and in contact with the third and fourth semiconductor regions, the electrode in contact with the third and fourth semiconductor regions contacting such regions in the space between adjacent insulating gates. By utilizing such aligned third and fourth semiconductor regions, an insulated gate semiconductor device which operates at high current densities can be fabricated at high accuracy, and such device will be less influenced by parasitic bipolar transistor effects.

摘要:
A wafer holder for holding a wafer includes a wafer holder base, a wafer fixing part, holder pins, a bearing, a housing, and a coil spring. The wafer fixing part is fixed to an outer circumference of a wafer holder. The holder pins are arranged to face the wafer fixing part. The holder pin is rotatably supported by the bearing. The holder pins are movably supported along the diameter direction of the wafer holder base by the coil spring. In the process of holding a side of the wafer with the holder pins, when force from the wafer works on the holder pins, the holder pins are rotated with a Z axis as a center, thus reducing frictional force between the holder pin and the wafer. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent particle generation from holding an implanting object.
