摘要:
A process for forming isolated active device regions on a silicon substrate comprises the steps of forming at least one trench in a silicon substrate to define at least two active device regions on the substrate to be isolated from each other, depositing an electrically insulative material on the substrate to fill the trench with the material, planarizing the surface of the substrate, performing a masking and etching operation to expose at least one active device region on the substrate, selectively growing a first epitaxial layer of silicon on the exposed active device region, masking the substrate to leave exposed at least one other active device region on the substrate, selectively growing a second epitaxial layer of silicon on the other exposed active device region, the first epitaxial layer and second epitaxial layer being doped with dopant atoms to the same or different dopant concentration to provide, at least two isolated active device regions on the silicon substrate. The process of the invention enables the fabrication of performance optimized MOS-type and bipolar devices simultaneously and independently of each other on a single clip or wafer.
摘要:
An integrated power device having a power transistor made up of a first diode and a second diode that are connected together in series between a collector region and emitter-contact region of the power transistor to define a common intermediate node, a control circuit including a high-voltage region bonded on the emitter-contact region (14) by means of an adhesive layer, and biasing circuit connected between the common intermediate node and the high-voltage region. The biasing circuit including a contact pad electrically connected to the common intermediate node, an electrical connection region that is in electrical contact with the high-voltage region (30), and a wire having a first end soldered on the contact pad and a second end soldered on said electrical connection region.
