摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a MOSFET (50, 99, 199) exhibiting increased source-drain breakdown voltage (BVdss). Source (S) (70) and drain (D) (76) are spaced apart by a channel (90) underlying a gate (84) and one or more carrier drift spaces (92, 92′) serially located between the channel (90) and the source (70, 70′) or drain (76, 76′). A buried region (96, 96′) of the same conductivity type as the drift space (92, 92′) and the source (70, 70′) or drain (76, 76′) is provided below the drift space (92, 92′), separated therefrom in depth by a narrow gap (94, 94′) and ohmically coupled to the source (70, 70′) or drain (76, 76′). Current flow (110) through the drift space produces a potential difference (Vt) across this gap (94, 94′). As the S-D voltage (Vo) and current (109, Io) increase, this difference (Vt) induces high field conduction between the drift space (92, 92′) and the buried region (96, 96′) and diverts part (112, It) of the S-D current (109, Io) through the buried region (96, 96′) and away from the near surface portions of the drift space (92, 92′) where breakdown generally occurs. Thus, BVdss is increased.

摘要:
A non-volatile memory bitcell structure is disclosed that includes a dual capacitor structure. A first metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor having a first capacitance value includes a first top plate, a first bottom plate, and a first dielectric disposed in-between the first top plate and the first bottom plate. A second metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor having a second capacitance value includes a second top plate, a second bottom plate, and a second dielectric disposed in-between the second top plate and the second bottom plate. An element of the first MIM capacitor is electrically coupled in common with an element of the second MIM capacitor. In addition, the first capacitance value is greater than the second capacitance value.
摘要:
A semiconductor MOSFET device (70, 100), and method of fabricating the device, including a shielding structure (86, 210) for decreasing the gate-drain capacitance (CGD) without simultaneously increasing the gate resistance or the total device ON-state resistance (RDSON). The shielding structure (86, 210) is formed between a drain region (76, 106) and an active gate electrode (88, 118) in the form of a separate dummy gate (87) or a trench (212) having a material (214) formed therein. The shielding structure (86, 210) forms a capacitance “shield” between the gate (88, 118) and drain region (76, 106). The MOSFET device (70, 100) further includes a semiconductor material (74, 104) defining therein a drain region (76, 106), at least one body region (78, 108) formed in the semiconductor material (74, 104), at least one source region (80, 110) formed in each body region (78, 108), and an active gate electrode (88, 118) formed over the semiconductor material (74, 104).
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for TMOS devices, comprising multiple N-type source regions, electrically in parallel, located in multiple P-body regions separated by N-type JFET regions at a first surface. The gate overlies the body channel regions and the JFET region lying between the body regions. The JFET region communicates with an underlying drain region via an N-epi region. Ion implantation and heat treatment are used to tailor the net active doping concentration Nd in the JFET region of length Lacc and net active doping concentration Na in the P-body regions of length Lbody so that a charge balance relationship (Lbody*Na)=k1*(Lacc*Nd) between P-body and JFET regions is satisfied, where k1 is about 0.6≦k1≦1.4. The entire device can be fabricated using planar technology and the charge balanced regions need not extend through the underlying N-epi region to the drain.

摘要:
A method for selectively forming semiconductor regions (28) is provided, by exposing a patterned substrate (21) having exposed regions of semiconductor material (26,27) and exposed regions of oxide (24) to a first temperature and a semiconductor source-gas and hydrogen in an atmosphere substantially absent halogens, a blanket semiconductor layer (28,29) forms over the exposed regions of semiconductor material (26,27) and oxide (24). By further exposing the patterned substrate (21) to a second temperature higher than the first temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere, polycrystalline semiconductor material (29) formed over the exposed oxide regions (24) is selectively removed leaving that portion of the blanket semiconductor layer (28) over the exposed regions of semiconductor material (26,27). The method is suitable for forming isolated regions of semiconductor material for fabricating semiconductor devices and is not load dependent.
