摘要:
A field effect transistor (147) is formed in a region of a second semiconductor layer (171), having a first conductivity type. A tank region (196) of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor region (171), and defines a tank area on the face of the semiconductor layer (171). A first highly doped region (276) formed to be of the first conductivity type is formed within the region (171) and to be spaced from the tank region (196). A gate insulator layer (218) is formed on at least one selected portion of the face, this selected portion including a portion of the tank area (196). A conductive gate (246) is formed on the gate insulator layer over the selected portion of the face. At least one second highly doped region (278) is formed at the face within the tank area to be of the first conductivity type, and to have at least one lateral edge self-aligned to a corresponding one of the lateral edges of the gate (246 ). The tank area forms a channel between the first highly doped region (276) and the second highly doped region (278).

A semiconductor device (102) that includes a drain extended PMOS transistor (CT1a) is provided, as well as fabrication methods (202) therefore. In forming the PMOS transistor, a drain (124) of the transistor is formed over a region (125) of a p-type upper epitaxial layer (106), where the region (125) of the p-type upper epitaxial layer (106) is sandwiched between a left P-WELL region (130a) and a right P-WELL region (130b) formed within the p-type upper epitaxial layer (106). The p-type upper epitaxial layer (106) is formed over a semiconductor body (104) that has an n-buried layer (108) formed therein. This arrangement serves to increase the breakdown voltage (BVdss) of the drain extended PMOS transistor.

A high current power transistor is provided that comprises a drain region that includes a highly-doped drain region (54) and a lightly-doped drain region (50). The channel region (52) is activated by a gate conductor (32). The channel region separates the lightly-doped drain region (50) from a D-well region (40). A sidewall insulator body (44) is used to form the lightly-doped drain region (50) and the lightly-doped drain region (54). The transistor is formed in an active region (20) which comprises a portion of an n-type epitaxial layer (12) formed outwardly from a p-type substrate (10). The isolation structures (14) and (16) as well as the epitaxial layer (12) provides for a transistor that can be used in both source follower and common source configurations.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for fabricating thick and thin gate oxide transistors in a semiconductor device, wherein lightly doped source/drain regions for the thick gate oxide transistors are formed using a threshold voltage adjust implant, and lightly doped source/drain regions for the thin gate oxide transistors are formed using an LDD implant. The use of threshold voltage implantation to form the lightly doped source/drain regions for the thick gate oxide transistors allows lower dopant concentrations therein compared with the thin gate oxide transistors without the need for separate LDD implantation processing for transistors of different gate oxide thicknesses.
