摘要:
An electronic device architecture is described comprising a field effect device in an active region 22 of a substrate 10. Channel stop implant regions 28a and 28b are used as isolation structures and are spaced apart from the active region 22 by extension zones 27a and 27b. The spacing is established by using an inner mask layer 20 and an outer mask layer 26 to define the isolation structures.

The width of a heavily-doped sinker is substantially reduced by forming the heavily-doped sinker to lie in between a number of closely-spaced trench isolation structures, which have been formed in a semiconductor material. During drive-in, the closely-spaced trench isolation structures significantly limit the lateral diffusion.

A junction field-effect transistor (JFET) includes a substrate having a first-type semiconductor surface including a topside surface, and a top gate of a second-type formed in the semiconductor surface. A first-type drain and a first-type source are formed on opposing sides of the top gate. A first deep trench isolation region has an inner first trench wall and an outer first trench wall surrounding the top gate, the drain and the source, and extends vertically to a deep trench depth from the topside surface. A second-type sinker formed in semiconductor surface extends laterally outside the outer first trench wall. The sinker extends vertically from the topside surface to a second-type deep portion which is both below the deep trench depth and laterally inside the inner first trench wall to provide a bottom gate.

A method for semiconductor processing is provided wherein a workpiece having an underlying body and a plurality of features extending therefrom, is provided. A first set of the plurality of features extend from the underlying body to a first plane, and a second set of the plurality features extend from the underlying body to a second plane. A protection layer overlies each of the plurality of features and an isolation layer overlies the underlying body and protection layer, wherein the isolation has a non-uniform first oxide density associated therewith. The isolation layer anisotropically etched based on a predetermined pattern, and then isotropically etched, wherein a second oxide density of the isolation layer is substantially uniform across the workpiece. The predetermined pattern is based, at least in part, on a desired oxide density, a location and extension of the plurality of features to the first and second planes.

A one-step CMP process for polishing three or more layer film stacks on a wafer having a multilayer film stack thereon including a silicon nitride (SiNx) layer on its semiconductor surface, and a silicon oxide layer on the SiNx layer, wherein trench access vias extend through the silicon oxide layer and SiNx layer to trenches formed into the semiconductor surface, and wherein a polysilicon layer fills the trench access vias, fills the trenches, and is on the silicon oxide layer. CMP polishes the multilayer film stack with a slurry including slurry particles including at least one of silica and ceria. The CMP provides a removal rate (RR) for the polysilicon layer>a RR for the silicon oxide layer>a RR for the SiNx layer. The CMP process is continued to remove the polysilicon layer, silicon oxide layer and a portion of the SiNx layer to stop on the SiNx layer. Optical endpointing during CMP can provide a predetermined remaining thickness range for the SiNx layer.

The body well and source diffused region overlap the bottom surface of the gate trench. An integrated circuit containing an MOS transistor with a first trenched gate abutting an isolation dielectric layer over a drift region, and a second trenched gate located over a heavily doped buried layer. The buried layer is the same conductivity type as the drift region. A process of forming an integrated circuit containing an MOS transistor, which includes an isolation dielectric layer over a drift region of a drain of the transistor, and a gate formed in a gate trench which abuts the isolation dielectric layer. The gate trench is formed by removing substrate material adjacent to the isolation dielectric layer.

Devices and methods are presented to fabricate dummy moats in an isolation region on a substrate. Presently, dummy moats are prone to losing impedance after the silicidation process. In high-voltage devices, silicided dummy moats reduce the breakdown voltage between active regions, particularly when the dummy moat overlaps or is in close proximity to a junction. The present devices and methods disclose a dummy moat covered with an oxide layer. During the silicidation process, the dummy moat and other designated isolation regions remain non-silicided. Thus, high and stable breakdown voltages are maintained.
