摘要： A method for forming a bipolar transistor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate. An oxide layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The oxide layer is patterned to form an opening that exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate. A dopant, such as antimony, is implanted into the semiconductor substrate through the opening to form a buried layer. An upper portion of the mask layer is removed to define a thin mask layer. A buried layer diffusion process is performed to drive in the implanted dopants while mitigating recess formation.

摘要： Embodiments provide a method and device for electrically monitoring trench depths in semiconductor devices. To electrically measure a trench depth, a pinch resistor can be formed in a deep well region on a semiconductor substrate. A trench can then be formed in the pinch resistor. The trench depth can be determined by an electrical test of the pinch resistor. The disclosed method and device can provide statistical data analysis across a wafer and can be implemented in production scribe lanes as a process monitor. The disclosed method can also be useful for determining device performance of LDMOS transistors. The on-state resistance (Rdson) of the LDMOS transistors can be correlated to the electrical measurement of the trench depth.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments provide manufacturing methods for forming a doped region in a semiconductor. Specifically, the doped region can be formed by multiple ion implantation processes using a patterned photoresist (PR) layer as a mask. The patterned PR layer can be formed using a hard-bakeless photolithography process by removing a hard-bake step to improve the profile of the patterned PR layer. The multiple ion implantation processes can be performed in a sequence of, implanting a first dopant species using a high energy; implanting the first dopant species using a reduced energy and an increased implant angle (e.g., about 9° or higher); and implanting a second dopant species using a reduced energy. In various embodiments, the doped region can be used as a double diffused region for LDMOS transistors.

摘要： An integrated circuit containing an extended drain MOS transistor may be formed by forming a drift region implant mask with mask fingers abutting a channel region and extending to the source/channel active area, but not extending to a drain contact active area. Dopants implanted through the exposed fingers form lateral doping striations in the substrate under the mask fingers. An average doping density of the drift region under the gate is at least 25 percent less than an average doping density of the drift region at the drain contact active area. In one embodiment, the dopants diffuse laterally to form a continuous drift region. In another embodiment, substrate material between lateral doping striations remains an opposite conductivity type from the lateral doping striations.
