    Abstract: An ESD cell includes an n+ buried layer (NBL) within a p-epi layer on a substrate. An outer deep trench isolation ring (outer DT ring) includes dielectric sidewalls having a deep n-type diffusion (DEEPN diffusion) ring (DEEPN ring) contacting the dielectric sidewall extending downward to the NBL. The DEEPN ring defines an enclosed p-epi region. A plurality of inner DT structures are within the enclosed p-epi region having dielectric sidewalls and DEEPN diffusions contacting the dielectric sidewalls extending downward from the topside surface to the NBL. The inner DT structures have a sufficiently small spacing with one another so that adjacent DEEPN diffusion regions overlap to form continuous wall of n-type material extending from a first side to a second side of the outer DT ring dividing the enclosed p-epi region into a first and second p-epi region. The first and second p-epi region are connected by the NBL.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device contains a photodiode which has a plurality of p-n junctions disposed in a stack. Two contact structures on the semiconductor device are connected across at least one of the junctions to allow electrical connection to an external detection circuit, so that signal current from incident light on the photodiode which generates electron-hole pairs across the connected junction may be sensed by the external detection circuit. At least one of the junctions is electrically shorted at the semiconductor device, so that signal current from the shorted junction may not be sensed by the external detection circuit.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device contains a photodiode which includes a buried collection region formed by a bandgap well to vertically confine photo-generated minority carriers. the bandgap well has the same conductivity as the semiconductor material immediately above and below the bandgap well. A net average doping density in the bandgap well is at least a factor of ten less than net average doping densities immediately above and below the bandgap well. A node of the photodiode, either the anode or the cathode, is connected to the buried collection region to collect the minority carriers, the polarity of the node matches the polarity of the minority carriers. The photodiode node connected to the buried collection region occupies less lateral area than the lateral area of the buried collection region.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a source region. A drain region has a first conductivity type and a second dopant concentration spaced apart from the source region. A first drift region is located between the source region and the drain region and has the first conductivity type and a first dopant concentration that is lower than the second dopant concentration of the drain region. An oxide structure includes a first portion on or over the first drift region and a tapered portion between the first portion and the drain region. A substrate surface extension is between the tapered portion and the drain region. A buffer region has the first conductivity type between the first drift region and the drain region and under the tapered portion of the oxide structure. The buffer region has a third dopant concentration between the second dopant concentration and the first dopant concentration.
