A drift region is formed in the semiconductor layer proximate the upper surface of the semiconductor layer and at least partially between the first and second source/drain regions. An insulating layer is formed on at least a portion of the upper surface of the semiconductor layer and above at least a portion of the drift region. A gate is formed on the insulating layer and at least partially between the first and second source/drain regions. The MOS device further includes a shielding structure formed on the insulating layer above at least a portion of the drift region. The shielding structure is configured such that an amount of hot carrier injection degradation in the MOS device is controlled as a function of an amount of coverage of the shielding structure over an upper surface of the drift region.

    摘要: A technique for forming a semiconductor structure in a semiconductor wafer includes the steps of forming an epitaxial layer on a least a portion of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and forming at least one trench in an upper surface of the semiconductor wafer and partially into the epitaxial layer. The method further includes the step of forming at least one diffusion region between a bottom wall of the trench and the substrate, the diffusion region providing an electrical path between the bottom wall of the trench and the substrate. One or more sidewalls of the trench are doped with a first impurity of a known concentration level so as to form an electrical path between an upper surface of the epitaxial layer and the at least one diffusion region. The trench is then filled with a filler material.
