摘要:
An integrated circuit (IC) chip, mounted on a leadframe, has a network of power distribution lines deposited on the surface of the chip so that these lines are located over active components of the IC, connected vertically by metal-filled vias to selected active components below the lines, and also by conductors to segments of the leadframe. Furthermore, the lines are fabricated with a sheet resistance of less than 1.5 mΩ/· and the majority of the lines is patterned as straight lines between the vias and the conductors, respectively.

Extended-drain MOS transistor devices and fabrication methods are provided, in which a drift region of a first conductivity type is formed between a drain of the first conductivity type and a channel. The drift region comprises first and second portions, the first portion extending partially under a gate structure between the channel and the second portion, and the second portion extending laterally between the first portion and the drain, wherein the first portion of the drift region has a concentration of first type dopants higher than the second portion.

An LDMOS device (10, 20, 50, 60) that is made with minimal feature size fabrication methods, but overcomes potential problems of misaligned Dwells (13). The Dwell (13) is slightly overstated so that its n-type dopant is implanted past the source edge of the gate region (18), which permits the n-type region of the Dwell to diffuse under the gate region (18) an sufficient distance to eliminate misalignment effects.

A RESURF LDMOS transistor (32) has a drain region including a first region (24) and a deep drain buffer region (34) surrounding the first region. The first region is more heavily doped than the deep drain buffer region. The deep drain buffer region improves the robustness of the transistor.

The concept of the present invention describes a semiconductor device with a junction 504 between a lightly doped region 501 and a heavily doped region 502, wherein the junction has an elongated portion 504a and curved portions 504b. The doping concentration of the lightly doped region is configured so that it exhibits higher resistivity in the proximity 510 of the curved portion by an amount suitable to lower the electric field strength during device operation and thus to offset the increased field strength caused by the curved portion. As a consequence, the device breakdown voltage in the curved junction portion becomes equal to or greater than the breakdown voltage in the linear portion.

A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises contact pads located over active components, which are positioned to minimize the distance for power delivery between a selected pad and one or more corresponding active components, to which the power is to be delivered. This minimum distance further enhances dissipation of thermal energy released by the active components.More specifically, a semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a laterally organized power transistor, an array of power supply contact pads distributed over the transistor, means for providing a distributed, predominantly vertical current flow from the contact pads to the transistor, and means for connecting a power source to each of the contact pads. Positioning the power supply contact pads directly over the active power transistor further saves precious silicon real estate area. The means for vertical current flow include contact pads made of a stack of metal layers comprising refractory metals for adhesion, copper and nickel as stress-absorbing metals, and gold or palladium as bondable and solderable outermost metals. The means for connecting a power source include wire bonding and solder ball interconnection.
摘要:
A method of minimizing parasitics in an MOS device caused by the formation of a bipolar transistor within the MOS devices and the device, primarily for a polyphase bridge circuit. For the low side device, a substrate of a first conductivity type is provided having a first buried layer of opposite conductivity type thereon. A second buried layer of the first conductivity type is formed over the first buried layer and a further layer of the first conductivity type is formed over the second buried layer. A sinker extending through the further layer to the first buried layer is formed to isolate the second buried layer and the further layer from the substrate. Formation of an MOS device in the further layer including source, drain and gate regions is completed and the sinker is connected to a source terminal of the device. The second buried layer is formed either by coimplanting a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant with one of the dopant having a higher diffusion rate than the other or by implanting and diffusing one of the two dopants first to form one layer and then implanting and diffusing the other dopant to form the second layer. The preferred dopants are boron as the p-type dopant and antimony as the n-type dopant.
