    摘要: Particularly in high current applications, impact ionization induced electron-hole pairs are generated in the drain of an MOS transistor that can cause a parasitic bipolar transistor to become destructively conductive. The holes pass through the body region of the MOS transistor, which has intrinsic resistance, to the source, which is typically held at a relatively low voltage, such as ground. The hole current causes a voltage to develop in the body region, which acts as the base. This increased base voltage is what can cause the parasitic bipolar transistor to become conductive. The likelihood of this is greatly reduced by developing a voltage between the source, which acts as the emitter, and the body region by passing the channel current through an impedance between the source and the body region. This causes the emitter voltage to increase as the base voltage is increased and thereby prevent the parasitic bipolar transistor from becoming conductive.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor component includes forming a first electrically insulating layer (120) and a second electrically insulating layer (130) over a semiconductor substrate (110). The method further includes etching a first trench (140) and a second trench (150) through the first and second electrically insulating layers and into the semiconductor substrate, and etching a third trench (610) through a bottom surface of the second trench and into the semiconductor substrate. The third trench has a first portion (920) and a second portion (930) interior to the first portion. The method still further includes forming a third electrically insulating layer (910) filling the first trench and the first portion of the third trench without filling the second portion of the third trench, and also includes forming a plug layer (1010) in the second portion of the third trench.

    摘要: An embodiment of a method of redistributing power in a semiconductor component includes varying a saturation current between a drain terminal (330) and a source terminal (320) of a field effect transistor (FET) (200, 500). The FET is at least a portion of the semiconductor component. The threshold voltage of the FET is maintained substantially constant across the FET while the drain-to-source saturation current per unit area is varied across the FET. In one embodiment, the drain-to-source saturation current per unit area is varied such that it is lower at a center of the FET than at a periphery of the FET. In particular embodiments, the drain-to-source saturation current per unit area may be varied across the FET by changing one or more of the gate-to-source voltage, the channel length, the channel width, the gate oxide thickness, and the channel mobility across the FET.
