    摘要: The invention relates to a turn-off power semiconductor device comprising a plurality of thyristor cells, each thyristor cell comprising a cathode region; a base layer; a drift layer; an anode layer; a gate electrode which is arranged lateral to the cathode region in contact with the base layer; a cathode electrode; and an anode electrode. Interfaces between the cathode regions and the cathode electrodes as well as interfaces between the base layers and the gate electrodes of the plurality of thyristor cells are flat and coplanar. In addition, the base layer includes a gate well region extending from its contact with the gate electrode to a depth, which is at least half of the depth of the cathode region, wherein, for any depth, the minimum doping concentration of the gate well region at this depth is 50% above a doping concentration of the base layer between the cathode region and the gate well region at this depth and at a lateral position, which has in an orthogonal projection onto a plane parallel to the first main side a distance of 2 μm from the cathode region. The base layer includes a compensated region of the second conductivity type, the compensated region being arranged directly adjacent to the first main side and between the cathode region and the gate well region, wherein the density of first conductivity type impurities relative to the net doping concentration in the compensated region is at least 0.4.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is formed having a thyristor, a pass device and a conductive shunt that electrically connects an emitter region of the thyristor with a node near an upper surface of the substrate. In one example embodiment of the present invention, the conductive shunt is formed in a trench in a substrate and extending from an upper surface of the substrate to an emitter region of a vertical thyristor, with the emitter region being in the substrate and below the upper surface. In one implementation, the thyristor includes a thyristor body and a control port, with an N+ emitter region of the thyristor body being in the substrate and below and upper surface thereof. A pass device is formed adjacent to the thyristor, and the conductive shunt is formed in a trench extending from the N+ emitter region to a source/drain region of the pass device. With this approach, thyristor applications can be implemented having an emitter region in a substrate and not necessarily directly accessible, for example, via an upper surface of the substrate. This approach is also useful, for example, in applications where a cathode-down thyristor is used, such as when it is desirable to form the thyristor control port near a bottom portion of the thyristor, and in high-density circuit applications, such as memory arrays.

    摘要: In a method of processing a semiconductor device, a silicide-blocking layer may be formed over a semiconductor material. After defining the silicide-blocking layer, impurities may be implanted into portions of the semiconductor material as defined by the silicide-blocking layer. After the implant, silicide may be formed in a surface region of the semiconductor material as permitted by the silicide-blocking layer. Regions of the impurity implant may comprise boundaries that are related to the outline of the silicide formed thereover. In a further embodiment, the implant may define a base region to a thyristor device. The implant may be performed with an angle of incidence to extend portions of the base region beneath a peripheral edge of the blocking mask. Next, an anode-emitter region may be formed using an implant of a substantially orthogonal angle of incidence and self-aligned to the mask. Epitaxial material may then be formed selectively over exposed regions of the semiconductor material as defined by the silicide-blocking mask. Silicide might also be formed after select exposed regions as defined by the silicide-blocking mask. The silicide-blocking mask may thus be used for alignment of implants, and also for defining epitaxial and silicide alignments.
