摘要:
An integrated circuit having PMOS, NMOS and NPN transistors is described for applications in which both digital and analog circuits are required. The integrated circuit is designed to allow standard CMOS cells to be used in the integrated circuit without redesign. A P+ substrate (48) is provided upon which a first P- epitaxy layer (46) is formed. N+ DUF regions (50,52) are provided for the PMOS and NPN transistors, respectively. The base region (68) is formed in an Nwell (58) by implantation and diffusion. Before diffusion, a nitride layer (70) is formed over the base (68) to provided an inert annealing thereof. The base diffusion and collector diffusion occurs before the CMOS channel stop and source/drain diffusions in order to prevent altering diffusion times for the MOS transistors.
摘要:
An LDMOS device (10, 20, 50, 60) that is made with minimal feature size fabrication methods, but overcomes potential problems of misaligned Dwells (13). The Dwell (13) is slightly overstated so that its n-type dopant is implanted past the source edge of the gate region (18), which permits the n-type region of the Dwell to diffuse under the gate region (18) an sufficient distance to eliminate misalignment effects.

A power field effect transistor is disclosed that includes polysilicon gate bodies (40) and (42), which includes platinum silicide contact layers (74) and (78) disposed on the outer surfaces of bodies (40) and (42), respectively. In addition, the device comprises an n+drain region (64) which also has a platinum silicide drain contact layer (76) formed on its outer surface and platinum silicide source contact layers (75) and (77). During formation, sidewall spacers (50) and (52), as well as mask bodies (70) and (72) are used to ensure that platinum silicide layer (76) spaced apart from both gate bodies (40) and (42) and platinum silicide gate contact layers (74) and (78).
摘要:
A method for increasing the operating voltage of a transistor formed on a substrate of a first conductivity region of a second conductivity type in a surface of the substrate. An N-well adjust region of the first conductivity type is then formed in the N-well region. The N-well adjust region extends to a first depth in the N-well region. A double diffusion well of the first conductivity type is then formed in the N-well. The double diffusion well extends to a second depth greater than the first depth of the N-well adjust region, and contains a portion of the N-well. Two N- channel stop regions are then formed in the N-well. The two N-channel stop regions extending to a third depth greater than the depth of the N-well adjust region, and contain a portion of the N-well.
摘要:
A vertical PNP transistor (11) and method for making it includes forming an N- region (19) in a P substrate (12), and forming an N+ region (26) in the substrate (12) laterally surrounding and partially extending into the N- region (19). A P region (30) is formed above the N- region (19), bounded laterally by the N+ region (26) to be horizontally and vertically isolated from the substrate (12) by the N- and N+ regions (19 and 26). A layer of semiconductor material (32) is formed overall, and an N well (35) and a surrounding P well (36) are formed, each extending to the P region (30). An isolating N+ well (38) is formed surrounding the P well (36), extending to the buried N+ region (26). A P emitter region (40) and an N base contact region (41) are formed at a surface of the N well (35), and a P collector contact region (44) is formed at a surface of the P well (36). Preferably, a CMOS structure (10) may be constructed elsewhere on the substrate concurrently with at least some of the steps for making the isolated vertical PNP transistor (11). For example, in one embodiment, the step of forming a P emitter region (40), an N base contact region (41), and a P collector contact region (44) are performed as a part of the simultaneous formation of source and drain regions (47 and 48) of the CMOS structure (10) elsewhere on the substrate (12). In another embodiment, the step of forming an N base contact (54) and a P collector contact (53) are performed as a part of a simultaneous formation of source and drain regions of a CMOS structure elsewhere on the substrate. In this embodiment, a separate deeper a P emitter region (52) is formed in the N well (19) to increase the emitter X.sub.J.

摘要:
A process for making a vertical PNP transistor and a transistor made by the process includes providing a highly doped semiconductor substrate (10) of P conductivity type. A first lightly doped P- layer (12) is epitaxially grown on the substrate (10). An N+ type buried layer impurity (18) is introduced into a surface region of the first lightly doped layer (12) that will underlie and define an island in which the vertical transistor will be constructed. A second lightly doped P- layer (16) is epitaxially grown on the first lightly doped layer (12) and the buried layer impurity (18). An N+ type isolation impurity is diffused into the second layer to form wells to laterally enclose an island (22) of the second layer (16) above the buried layer impurity (18). An N type base impurity (28) is diffused into the island (22) region of the second layer (16), and a P type emitter impurity (30) is diffused into the base region (28). A collector resistivity adjusting impurity (25) may optionally be diffused into the second layer (16) to reduce the collector resistance of the PNP transistor that is formed. Various steps in the construction of the vertical PNP transistor, such as diffusing the isolation impurity (18), diffusing the base impurity (28), and diffusing the emitter impurity (30), may be performed simultaneously with corresponding steps of a BiCMOS process.

A semiconductor device (76) is provided with a high-voltage portion including NMOS transistor (78) and PMOS transistor (82b) and a low-voltage portion including NMOS transistor (80) and PMOS transistor 82(a). The high-voltage NMOS transistor (78) includes source/drain regions (90a, 90b) having N- regions (90a.sub.1, 90b.sub.1) that are self-aligned with a gate (78) and N+ regions (90a.sub.2, 90b.sub.2) that are self-aligned with sidewall spacers (91) formed on sidewalls of the gate (78) to improve reliability under continuous high voltage operating conditions. The low voltage NMOS transistor includes source/drain regions (92a, 92b) that are self-aligned with sidewall spacers (92) to permit channel lengths to be scaled to less than 2 microns. The low-voltage PMOS transistor (82a) and high-voltage PMOS transistor (82b) include source/drain regions (116a-116d) that are self-aligned with sidewall spacer extension regions (110a) formed over sidewall spacers (91) permitting low-voltage PMOS transistor channel lengths to be scaled to less than 2 microns.
摘要:
A method for making an isolated NMOS transistor (10) in a BiCMOS process includes forming an N− conductivity type DUF layer (19) in a P conductivity type semiconductor substrate (12), followed by forming alternate contiguous N+ and P conductivity type buried regions (30,26) in the substrate (12). A layer of substantially intrinsic semiconductor material (32) is then formed on the substrate (12) in which alternate and contiguous N and P conductivity type wells (35,36) are formed, respectively above and extending to the N+ and P conductivity type buried regions (30,26). Finally, NMOS source and drain regions (48) are formed in at least one of the P conductivity type wells (35). The method is preferably performed concurrently with the construction of a bipolar transistor structure (11) elsewhere on the substrate (12). More particularly, the steps of forming the P conductivity type buried layer (30) may be performed a part of a simultaneous formation of a collector element of the PNP transistor (11) elsewhere on the substrate (12).
