摘要:
The integrated circuit device has a vertical conduction structure in which a region, which contains the base of a bipolar transistor, has zones having different concentrations. The concentrations are lower where the flow of charges is more intense and higher elsewhere. A high gain of the bipolar transistor and a low resistance of the electronic switch in conduction are thus obtained.

A manufacturing process is carried out starting from an SOI type wafer including a top silicon layer and a bottom silicon layer separated from each other by a buried silicon dioxide layer. In the top layer, a LOCOS type sacrificial region is formed and then removed, so as to form a cavity that extends in depth as far as the buried oxide layer. Subsequently, the cavity is filled with epitaxial or polycrystalline silicon, so as to form a power region extending between the top surface and the bottom surface of the wafer; then lateral insulation regions are formed that insulate the power region from the circuitry region.

A power semiconductor device structure formed in a chip of semiconductor material includes an N-type substrate and an N-type epitaxial layer. The structure comprises a P-type insulation region which forms a pocket in which control circuitry is formed, and a plurality of fully insulated PNP power transistors. Each PNP power transistor comprises a P-type collector region including of a buried region between the substrate and the epitaxial layer and a contact region. The P region delimits a base N region within which an emitter P region is formed.

A process is described for integrating, on an inert substrate, a device having at least one passive component and one active component. The process comprises: deposition of a protection dielectric layer on the inert substrate; formation of a polysilicon island on the protection dielectric layer; integration of the active component on the polysilicon island; deposition of the covering dielectric layer on the protection dielectric layer and on the active component; integration of the passive component on the covering dielectric layer; formation of first contact structures in openings realised in the covering dielectric layer in correspondence with active regions of the active component; and formation of second contact structures in correspondence with the passive component. An integrated device obtained through this process is also described.

A process for manufacturing a thin-film transistor device includes forming a dielectric insulation layer on a substrate, forming an amorphous silicon layer on the dielectric insulation layer, crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer, so as to obtain polycrystalline silicon, forming gate structures on the polycrystalline silicon, and forming first doped regions within the polycrystalline silicon laterally with respect to the gate structures. The crystallizing step includes forming first capping dielectric regions on the amorphous silicon layer, and then irradiating the amorphous silicon layer using a laser so as to form active areas of polycrystalline silicon separated by separation portions of amorphous silicon underlying the first capping dielectric regions.

An embodiment relates to a sensor integrated on a semiconductor substrate and comprising at least one first and second photodiode including at least one first and one second p-n junction made in such a semiconductor substrate as well as at least one first and one second antireflection coating made on top of such a first and second photodiode. At least one antireflection coating of such a first and second photodiode comprises at least one first and one second different antireflection layer to make a double layer antireflection coating suitable for obtaining for the corresponding photodiode a responsivity peak at a predetermined wavelength of an optical signal incident on the sensor. An embodiment also refers to an integration process of such a sensor, as well as to an ambient light sensor made with such a sensor.

A fuel cell is entirely fabricated on a single monocrystalline silicon substrate, and substantially overcomes leak proofing and wafer bonding difficulties and criticalities while ensuring an intrinsic sturdiness of the planarly integrated functional structure of the fuel cell. The integrated fuel cell is formed in an oxidized porous silicon region on a monocrystalline silicon substrate that is pervious to fluid flow and is electrically nonconductive with the monocrystalline silicon substrate.

A resistive structure integrated on a semiconductive substrate is described. The resistive structure has a first type of conductivity formed into a serpentine region of conductivity which is opposite to that of the semiconductive substrate.
