    摘要: A VDMOS device includes a wafer of semiconductor material having first and second opposed major surfaces. A drain region of a first conductivity type extends along the one major surface. A plurality of body regions of a second conductivity type is in the body region at the one major surface. Each body region forms with the drain region a body/drain PN junction, the intersection of which with the first major surface is in a closed path, preferably a hexagon. A plurality of spaced source regions of the one conductivity type are in each of the body regions with each source region being positioned opposite the space between two source regions in the adjacent body region. Each source region forms with the body region a source/body PN junction. A portion of each of the source/body PN junctions is adjacent to but spaced from its respective drain/body PN junction to form a channel region therebetween. An insulated gate is over the first major surface and the channel regions. The plurality of spaced channel regions in each of the body regions provides the device with improved surface operating area.

    摘要: A pattern for a wafer for a MOS-gated semiconductor device includes plural ribbons extending from a source contact region to another source contact region, each of the ribbons having a single source region between two channel regions, so as to increase the device's current-carrying capability per unit area relative to the prior art. The pattern increases the size of the active current-carrying area (the channel and neck regions of the device) relative to the area of the source contact areas. The source contact regions may be discrete or linear, and the ribbons may extend therefrom perpendicularly or at other angles.

    摘要: An IGFET device includes a semiconductor wafer having a first conductivity type drain region contiguous with a wafer surface. A second conductivity type body region extends into the wafer from the wafer surface so as to form a body/drain PN junction having an intercept at the surface; the body region further including a body-contact portion of relatively high conductivity disposed at the surface. A first conductivity type source region extends into the wafer so as to form a source/body PN junction which has first and second intercepts at the surface. The first intercept is spaced from the body/drain intercept so as to define a channel region in the body region at the surface, and the second intercept is contiguous with the body contact portion. The second intercept is relatively narrowly spaced from the first intercept along most of the length of the first intercept and is relatively widely spaced from the first intercept at one or more predetermined portions. A source electrode contacts the body-contact portion and the source region on the wafer surface.

    摘要: A VDMOS device comprises a semiconductor wafer having a major surface with a first conductivity type drain region thereat. An array of second conductivity type body regions, spaced from each other by distance D, is diffused into the drain region from the first surface. The body regions each include a relatively high conductivity supplementary body region and a first conductivity type source region diffused therein from within the first surface boundary thereof. The spacing between each source region and the drain region defines a channel region at the first surface. A source electrode contacts the source and body regions and an insulated gate electrode overlies each channel region. A gate bond pad, in direct contact with the gate electrode, overlies a second conductivity type gate shield region and is insulated therefrom. The gate shield region is contiguous with the drain region and is spaced from the neighboring channel regions by distance D. The gate shield region includes a plurality of contact areas proximate to the periphery thereof and a plurality of relatively low conductivity portions disposed between the contact areas and the drain region. The source electrode ohmically contacts these contact areas.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a power MOS transistor having a current limiting circuit incorporated in the same substrate as the transistor. The power MOS transistor includes a drain region extending through the substrate between opposed first and second surfaces, a plurality of body regions in the substrate at the first surface, a separate source region in the substrate at the first surface within each body region and a channel extending across each body region between its junction with its respective source region and its junction with the drain region. A conductive gate is over and insulated from the first surface and extends over the channel regions. A first conductive electrode extends over and is insulated from the gate and contacts a first portion of the source regions. A second conductive electrode extends over and is insulated from the gate and contacts a second portion of the source regions. The second portion contains a smaller number of the source regions than the first portion. The current limiting circuit includes a bipolar transistor formed in a well region in the substrate, a zener diode formed in a second well region in the substrate and two resistors formed over and insulated from the first surface. The current limiting circuit is connected between the second portion of the source regions and the gate so as to reduce the power through the circuit.

    摘要: A fast switch-off circuit for a conductivity modulated field effect transistor (COMFET) avoids the flow of destructive latch-up currents. A reduced-amplitude switch-off current is applied to the gate electrode of the COMFET during the initial portion of switch-off. When the source-to-drain voltage (V.sub.DS) of the COMFET has become larger than the range of low V.sub.DS voltage in which latch-up can occur for an increased-amplitude switch-off current being applied to the gate electrode of the COMFET, that increased-amplitude switch-off current is applied to the gate electrode of the COMFET.
