    摘要: A structure protects CMOS logic from substrate minority carrier injection caused by the inductive switching of a power device. A single Integrated Circuit (IC) supports one or more power MOSFETs and one or more arrays of CMOS logic. A highly doped ring is formed between the drain of the power MOSFET and the CMOS logic array to provide a low resistance path to ground for the injected minority carriers. Under the CMOS logic is a highly doped buried layer to form a region of high recombination for the injected minority carriers. One or more CMOS devices are formed above the buried layer. The substrate is a resistive and the injected current is attenuated. The well in which the CMOS devices rest forms a low resistance ground plane for the injected minority carriers.

    摘要: Field effect devices and ICs with very low gate-drain capacitance Cgd are provided by forming a substantially empty void between the gate and the drain regions. For vertical FETS a cavity is etched in the semiconductor (SC) and provided with a gate dielectric liner. A poly-SC gate deposited in the cavity has a central fissure (empty pipe) extending through to the underlying SC. This fissure is used to etch the void in the SC beneath the poly-gate. The fissure is then closed by a dielectric plug formed by deposition or oxidation without significantly filling the etched void. Conventional process steps are used to provide the source and body regions around the cavity containing the gate, and to provide a drift space and drain region below the body region. The etched void between the gate and drain provides lower Cgd and Ron*Qg than can be achieved using low k dielectrics.

    摘要: Embodiments of a method for fabricating a semiconductor device having a reduced gate-drain capacitance are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of etching a trench in a semiconductor substrate utilizing an etch mask, widening the trench to define overhanging regions of the etch mask extending partially over the trench, and depositing a gate electrode material into the trench and onto the overhanging regions. The gate electrode material merges between the overhanging regions prior to the filling of the trench to create an empty fissure within the trench. A portion of the semiconductor substrate is removed through the empty fissure to form a void cavity proximate the trench.
