    摘要: A transistor includes a bulk semiconductor substrate, and first and second raised source/drain regions above the bulk semiconductor substrate. A gate is between the first and second raised source/drain regions. A first dielectric section is beneath the first raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate, and a second dielectric section is beneath the second raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate. A first air gap is defined in at least the first dielectric section under the first raised source/drain region, and a second air gap is defined in at least the second dielectric section under the second raised source/drain region. The air gaps reduce off capacitance of the bulk semiconductor structure to near semiconductor-on-insulator levels without the disadvantages of an air gap under the channel region.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a trench gate device includes: forming a trench in a substrate with a super junction structure; forming a gate dielectric layer in the trench; forming a polysilicon gate by filling a portion of the trench with polysilicon; forming an intermediate dielectric layer in the trench; forming an auxiliary polysilicon layer by filling a gap in the trench with polysilicon; forming a source region of the trench gate device in the substrate; depositing an interlayer dielectric layer, and forming contacts in the interlayer dielectric layer, wherein the polysilicon gate, the auxiliary polysilicon layer, and the source region are led out from the contacts; and connecting the led-out auxiliary polysilicon layer to the led-out source region.

    摘要: A structure includes an active device over an area of a substrate, and a heat spreading isolation structure adjacent the active device. The isolation structure includes a dielectric layer above a heat-conducting layer. The heat-conducting layer may include polycrystalline graphite. The heat-conducting layer provides a heat sink, which provides a high thermal conductivity path for heat with low electrical conductivity. The heat-conducting layer may extend into the substrate. The substrate may include an SOI substrate in which case the heat-conducting layer may extend through the buried insulator thereof.

    摘要: A semiconductor device has a semiconductor material in a substrate. The semiconductor device has an MOS transistor. A trench in the substrate extends from a top surface of the substrate) into the semiconductor material. A shield is disposed in the trench. The shield has a contact portion which extends toward a top surface of the trench. A gate of the MOS transistor is disposed in the trench over the shield. The gate is electrically isolated from the shield. The gate is electrically isolated from the contact portion of the shield by a shield isolation layer which covers an angled surface of the contact portion extending toward the top of the trench. Methods of forming the semiconductor device are disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed is a bulk semiconductor structure that includes a semiconductor substrate with a multi-level polycrystalline semiconductor region that includes one or more first-level portions (i.e., buried portions) and one or more second-level portions (i.e., non-buried portions). Each first-level portion can be within the semiconductor substrate some distance below the top surface (i.e., buried), can be aligned below a monocrystalline semiconductor region and/or a trench isolation region, and can have a first maximum depth. Each second-level portion can be within the semiconductor substrate at the top surface, can be positioned laterally adjacent to a trench isolation region, and can have a second maximum depth that is less than the first maximum depth. Also disclosed herein are method embodiments for forming the bulk semiconductor structure wherein the first-level and second-level portions of the multi-level polycrystalline semiconductor region are concurrently formed (e.g., using a single module).
