摘要:
A single polycrystalline silicon configuration for a memory cell in a static MOS RAM and a method of fabricating the same are described. Three conductivity regions are utilized to form each memory cell. A first conductivity region is formed in the substrate to create a buried ground line and sources and drains of transistors. A second conductivity region is formed within an insulation layer and above the first conductivity region to create a word line, gate regions of the transistors, load resistors, and a power supply line. The power supply line is oriented directly above and parallel to the ground line. A third conductivity region is formed on the surface of the insulation layer to create data lines. The number of process steps and the size of the memory cell are reduced by this configuration.
摘要:
A method for producing a semiconductor arrangement of two antiparallel connected diodes comprising a semiconductor body which includes a base region of one conductivity type and a zone adjacent each side of the base region. Each zone forms a pn-junction with the base region and thus a diode structure and is offset with respect to the other zone. The major surfaces formed by each base region and one of the two zones are provided with a contact metal coating so as to electrically connect the two diode structures. In accordance with this method, a layer sequence of three zones with pn-junctions therebetween is formed by diffusion on a semiconductor starting disc. Then, mutually parallel recesses are produced with the aid of masking in each major surface of the disc according to a strip-shaped structure, offset with respect to that of the other major surface, by removing material to beyond the respective pn-junction. Both major surfaces are metallized and the disc is divided along the recesses into semiconductor arrangements.

An enhancement implant used in late programming of a ROM in an integrated circuit is combined with a depletion implant used much earlier in the fabrication process to also permit late programming of power paths in the integrated circuit. The implants must be matched and the IC heated after the enhancement implant.
摘要:
A process is described for producing isolated semiconductor devices in a common substrate which have self-aligned and pre-located isolation walls, buried layers, and channel-stops. The isolation walls are formed from a stacked arrangement of a dielectric region and a polycrystalline semiconductor region, above a doped channel-stop region which acts as a field guard. A single mask layer determines the location and spacing of the buried portions of the isolation walls, the channel-stops, and the buried layers.

An integrated circuit incorporating high voltage semiconductor devices which are controlled by low voltage semiconductor devices is disclosed, including a method for making the same. The low voltage devices which are capable of realizing complex logic functions on the same chip are realized with only one simple extra step in the fabrication process as compared with the process used to fabricate discrete high voltage power transistors. The process addition to implant the low voltage device does not significantly degrade the original capability associated with discrete power transistors. Both laterally developed and vertically developed devices are described. The integrated circuit combines I.sup.2 L logic with power Darlington transistors. A large area ion implantation permits one to fabricate both low and high voltage devices on one substrate. The resulting integrated circuit permits a plurality of loads to be controlled by a simple or complex control function.
摘要:
The method of producing a CMOS transistor device. A pair of device regions are formed in separated relation from each other by a field oxide film on a pair of corresponding well regions formed in a semiconductor substrate. A gate insulating film and a gate electrode is sequentially formed on each of the device regions. The gate insulating film is removed through a mask of the patterned gate electrode to expose a silicon active surface at least in one of the device regions. A diborane gas containing P type impurity of boron is applied to the silicon active surface to form thereon a boron absorption film. N type impurity of arsenic is doped into the other device region by ion implantation to form N type of source and drain regions while masking the one device region. The boron is diffused from the adsorption film into the one device region to form P type of source and drain regions by annealing of the substrate.
摘要:
A vertical MOSFET in a silicon wafer having opposing major surfaces includes a source electrode on one surface, a drain electrode on the second surface, and an internally disposed insulated gate. The silicon between the insulated gate and each of the major surfaces is of first conductivity type and the silicon that is laterally adjacent to the insulated gate is of second conductivity type, such that a predetermined voltage on the insulated gate creates an inversion channel extending a predetermined distance into the laterally adjacent silicon. That portion of the laterally adjacent silicon where the inversion channel is formed is of relatively lightly doped material, whereas other areas of the laterally adjacent silicon is relatively heavily doped. The silicon that is between the insulated gate and each wafer surface includes a relatively lightly doped voltage-supporting region contiguous with the insulated gate and the laterally adjacent silicon and a relatively heavily doped region between this voltage-supporting region and the surface. Additionally, the interface between the insulated gate and the laterally adjacent silicon has a low density of interface states.

A vertical IGFET comprising a substantially planar silicon wafer with a source electrode on one major surface and a drain electrode on the opposite major surface is disclosed. An insulated gate electrode, which includes a conductive finger portion surrounded by an insulating layer, is internally disposed in the silicon wafer such that a predetermined voltage applied to the gate electrode will regulate a current flow between the source and drain electrodes. The device is fabricated utilizing an epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique for depositing monocrystalline silicon over the insulated gate which is disposed on a silicon substrate.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for wire routing of a semiconductor integrated circuit wherein the interconnection between the functional blocks disposed on a chip of the semiconductor integrated circuit having four or more wiring layers is implemented by computers. A plurality of adjacent wiring layers form a single set, and for at least two sets, the wire routing between terminals of the functional blocks lying on the wiring layers formed by the sets is carried out for each set independently from the other set. A plurality of computers are used, which communicate with each other through their network. A file system of one computer is shared between the two computers so that the wire routing process program, input information on the wire routing and a wire routing result can be stored within the shared file system, whereby an efficient concurrent processing is possible and the processing speed can be improved while the number of wiring layers dealt with by each wire routing process are reduced.
摘要:
Described is a structure and process for forming a hermetically sealed chip. This hermetically sealed chip will greatly simplify packaging requirements and eventually lead to the realization of a "packageless chip". The hermetic sealing is composed of two parts, an extremely thin passivation layer which is deposited over the entire chip top and side surfaces and a passivation layer which is deposited over the bonding pad surface. Preferably, SiN is deposited as a chip surface passivation layer and Ni is selectively deposited as a metal passivation layer. The extremely thin nitride layer will minimize the stress and the amount of hydrogen in the SiN film and minimize deleterious effects upon device performance caused by stress and hydrogen. The thickness of the metal passivation layer may be the same as that of the dielectric layer so as to give a planar surface or it may be thick enough so as to give a protruding metal passivation bump.
