    摘要: A method of fabricating a solar cell is provided. A first type semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface is provided. A second type doped diffusion region is formed in parts of the first type semiconductor substrate. The second type doped diffusion region extends within the first type semiconductor substrate from the first surface. An anti-reflection coating (ARC) in contact with second type doped diffusion region is formed over the first surface. A conductive paste including conductive particles and dopant is formed over the ARC. A co-firing process for enabling the conductive paste to penetrate the ARC to form a first contact conductor embedded in the ARC is performed. During the co-firing process, the dopant diffuses into the second type doped diffusion region and a second type heavily doped diffusion region is formed. A second contact conductor is formed on the second surface.

    摘要: A thin base oxide is disposed over both an active area and also over a field area of a substrate. A thin silicon-nitride layer is then formed over the base oxide in the active area to protect the underlying substrate from oxygen and/or water vapor during a subsequent field oxidation step. This thin nitride layer is, however, insufficiently thick to serve as a field implant mask in a subsequent field implant step. An additional low temperature oxide (LTO) layer is therefore provided over the nitride layer in the active area. The field implant step is then performed using the base oxide, the thin nitride, and the overlying LTO as a field implant mask. The boundaries of the overlying LTO define a field implant boundary. After the field implant step but before the field oxidation step, the LTO layer is removed from the top of the thin nitride layer. As a result, only the base oxide and the thin nitride layer is disposed over the active area during field oxidation. Therefore, in comparison to previous methods using thicker nitride layers, the present invention employs a thin nitride layer during the field oxidation step, thereby reducing the amount of stress induced in the nitride layer and thereby minimizing problems associated with thick nitride layers such as the introduction of lattice defects into the underlying silicon substrate. The thin nitride process of the present invention may, for example, be incorporated into a BiCDMOS process.

    摘要: An Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) protection device is formed in an isolated region of a semiconductor substrate. The ESD protection device may be in the form of a MOS or bipolar transistor or a diode. The isolation structure may include a deep implanted floor layer and one or more implanted wells that laterally surround the isolated region. The isolation structure and ESD protection devices are fabricated using a modular process that includes virtually no thermal processing. Since the ESD device is isolated, two or more ESD devices may be electrically “stacked” on one another such that the trigger voltages of the devices are added together to achieve a higher effective trigger voltage.
