Abstract:
A semiconductor technique is disclosed. Particularly a low voltage high current power device for use in a lithium ion secondary battery protecting circuit, a DC-DC converter and a motor is disclosed. Further, a method for fabricating a high density trench gate type power device is disclosed. That is, in the present invention, a trench gate mask is used for forming the well and/or source, and for this purpose, a side wall spacer is introduced. In this manner, the well and/or source is defined by using the trench gate mask, and therefore, 1 or 2 masking processes are skipped unlike the conventional process in which the well mask and the source mask are separately used. The decrease in the use of the masking process decreases the mask align errors, and therefore, the realization of a high density is rendered possible. Consequently, the on-resistance which is an important factor for the power device can be lowered.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a vertical TDMOS power device using sidewall spacers and a self-align technique and a TDMOS power device of the same. The TDMOS is fabricated using only 3 masks and a source is formed using the self-align technique to embody a highly integrated trench formation. During the process, ion implantation of high concentration into the bottom of the trench makes a thick oxide film grow on the bottom and the corner of the gate, so that electrical characteristic, specifically leakage current and breakdown voltage of the device can be improved. Also, process steps can be much decreased to lower process cost, high integration is possible, and reliability of the device can be improved.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a high-voltage high-power integrated circuit device using a substrate of a SOI structure in which an insulating film and a silicon layer are sequentially stacked on a silicon substrate. The method comprising the steps of sequentially forming an oxide film and a photoresist film on the silicon layer and then performing a photolithography process using a trench mask to pattern the photoresist film; patterning the oxide film using the patterned photoresist film as a mask and then removing the photoresist film remained after the patterning; etching the silicon layer using the patterned oxide film as a mask until the insulating film is exposed to form a trench; forming a nitride film on the entire surface including the trench, performing an annealing process and depositing polysilicon on the entire surface so that the trench is buried; and sequentially removing the polysilicon and the nitride film until the silicon layer is exposed to flatten the surface, thus forming a device isolating film for electrical isolation between devices within the trench. Therefore, the present invention can effectively reduce the isolation area of the trench between the high-voltage high-power device and the logic CMOS device and can easily control the concentration of a deep well.

The input and output port circuit comprises a signal register for storing output signals, an input/output register at which an input/output control signal for determining an input/output direction is stored, a plurality of control registers, a power supply switch circuit for selectively supplying a low voltage or a high voltage depending on a power mode control signal, a signal direction control circuit for determining the direction of the signal depending on a value of the signal register and a value of the input/output register, an output control circuit driven depending on the value of the control register and an output of the signal direction control circuit, and an output driving circuit for outputting the low voltage, the high voltage or the ground value depending on an output of the signal direction control circuit and an output of the output control circuit. The high voltage and the low voltage can be simultaneously driven using only a single output driving circuit and the single output driving circuit is constructed in multiple stages and is selectively driven by the output control register. Therefore, the power consumption can be saved.
Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor fabrication technology; and, more particularly, to a semiconductor device having a heat release structure that uses a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. The device and method of the present research provides a semiconductor device having a high heat-release structure and high heat-release structure, and a fabrication method thereof. In the research, the heat and high-frequency noises that are generated in the integrated circuit are released outside of the substrate through the tunneling region quickly by forming an integrated circuit on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, aiid removing a buried insulation layer under the integrated circuit to form a tunneling region. The heat-release efficiency can be enhanced much more, when unevenness is formed on the surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the tunneling region, or when the air or other gases having excellent heat conductivity is flown into the tunneling region.
