A thin silicon epitaxial layer, formed on a silicon substrate, is subdivided into electrically isolated pockets by a grid of oxidized regions of epitaxial silicon material which extend through the epitaxial layer to a laterally extending PN junction.
摘要:
Integrated circuits suitable for high-performance applications, especially mixed signal products that have analog and digital sections, are fabricatable from a semiconductor structure having two levels of buried regions. In a typical embodiment lower buried regions of opposite conductivity types are situated along a lower semiconductor interface between a semiconductive substrate and an overlying lower semiconductive layer. Upper buried regions of opposite conductivity type are similarly situated along an upper semiconductor interface between the lower semiconductive layer and an overlying upper semiconductive layer. The upper semiconductive layer contains P-type and N-type device regions in which transistor zones are situated. The semiconductor structure is normally configured so that at least one of each of the P-type and N-type device regions is electrically isolated from the substrate. Complementary bipolar transistors can be integrated with complementary field-effect transistors in the structure.

A semiconductor structure which includes zener diodes and various combinations of MOS transistors, bipolar transistors and DMOS transistors, all fabricated on the same integrated circuit chip
摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a p-type silicon substrate, a first well of p-type formed in a major surface of the silicon substrate, and a second well of n-type formed close to the first well in the major surface of the silicon substrate. A third well of p-type is formed inside the second well and, furthermore, a conductive layer including p-type impurities of higher concentration than that of the first well is formed as extending immediately below both the first well and the second well. In accordance with this structure, even if minority carriers are injected, they recombine and disappear in the conductive layer, so that the implantation of the carriers into the first well is prevented. As a result, various disadvantageous phenomena due to the injection of the minority carriers are prevented and a semiconductor device having a stable device characteristic and high integration density is provided.

A process is disclosed which simultaneously forms high quality complementary bipolar transistors, relatively high voltage CMOS transistors, relatively low voltage CMOS transistors, DMOS transistors, zener diodes and thin-film resistors, or any desired combination of these, all on the same integrated circuit chip. The process uses a small number of masking steps, forms high performance transistor structures, and results in a high yield of functioning die. Isolation structures, bipolar transistor structures, CMOS transistor structures, DMOS transistor structures, zener diode structures, and thin-film resistor structures are also disclosed.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing various types of silicon devices, such as complementary bipolar PNP and NPN transistors, in a Silicon On Insulator ("SOI") Integrated Circuit ("IC"), the SOI IC having a substrate, a buried insulating layer disposed above the substrate, and a silicon device layer disposed above the insulating layer. Vertical transistors may be formed in the device layer such that each transistor is fully dielectrically isolated from another and also from other similarly manufactured silicon devices in the silicon device layer.
摘要:
A vertical transistor comprises a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type having a first doped region (48) formed therein. A second doped region (50) is formed within the first doped region (48). A gate overlies the first doped region such that a low impedance path between the second doped region and the semiconductor layer may be created responsive to a voltage applied to the gate. Isolation regions (38 and 58) are formed through the semiconductor layer to isolate the transistor from other devices.
