Abstract:
Es wird vorgeschlagen, zur Herstellung eines definierten Dotierungsgebietes (DG) den Dotierstoff über eine Maske (M,MO) in das Halbleitermaterial (S) zu implantieren und anschliessend unter definierten Eintreibbedingungen in eine gewünschte Tiefe einzudiffundieren. Zum Erzeugen eines gleichmässigen Dotierstoffprofils wird bei der Implantation eine Maske (M,MO) verwendet, die eine ringförmig geschlossene, für den Dotierstoff durchlässige Maskenöffnung (MO) aufweist, die einen für Dotierstoff undurchlässigen Maskenbereich (MZ) umgibt.
Abstract:
A trench MOSFET (30) is formed in a structure which includes a P-type epitaxial layer (34) overlying an N+ substrate (32). An N-type dopant is implanted through the bottom of the trench (35) into the P-epitaxial layer to form a buried layer below the trench, and after a up-diffusion step a N drain-drift region (33) extends between the N+ substrate and the bottom of the trench. The result is a more controllable doping profile of the N-type dopant below the trench. The body region (34A) may also be formed by implanting P-type dopant into the epitaxial layer, in which case the background doping of the epitaxial layer may be either lightly doped P- or N-type. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown voltage.

Abstract:
A power MOSFET is provided that includes a substrate (2) of a first conductivity type. An epitaxial layer (1) also of the first conductivity type is deposited on the substrate. First and second body regions (5a, 6a, 5b, 6b) are located in the epitaxial layer and define a drift region between them. The body regions have a second conductivity type. First and second source regions (7, 8) of the first conductivity type are respectively located in the first and second body regions. A plurality of trenches (44, 46) are located below the body regions in the drift region of the epitaxial layer. The trenches, which extend toward the substrate from the first and second body regions, are filled with an epitaxially layered material that includes a dopant of the second conductivity type. The dopant is diffused from the trenches into portions of the epitaxial layer adjacent the trenches so as to form semiconductor regions (40, 42) of the second conductivity type under the body regions.
Abstract:
A method of doping silicon that involves placing a silicon wafer in spaced relationship to a solid phosphorus dopant source at a first temperature for a time sufficient to deposit a phosphorus-containing layer on the surface of the wafer and subsequently oxidizing the doped silicon wafer with wet oxygen or pyrogenic steam at a second temperature lower than the first temperature. The silicon wafer is maintained in spaced relationship to the solid phosphorus dopant source during the oxidizing step. The temperatures are selected such that the solid phosphorus dopant source evolves P>2 5 2 5
Abstract:
A method of producing a top gate thin-film transistor in which an insulated gate structure (14) is formed over an amorphous silicon layer with upper gate conductor (16) directly over the gate insulator layers. The gate conductor is patterned to be narrower than a spacing to be provided between source and drain electrode contacts. Laser annealing of areas of the amorphous silicon layer (12) not shielded by the gate conductor (16) is carried out to form polysilicon portions. The gate insulator layers are formed as a gate insulator layer (14a,14b) of first refractive index, and an overlying surface insulator layer (14c) of second, lower, refractive index. The overlying surface insulator layer has been found to reduce fluctuations in the reflectance of the structure in dependence upon the specific thicknesses of the gate insulator layers. Therefore, the tolerances for the thicknesses of the gate insulator layers can be reduced whilst maintaining control of the laser annealing process.
Abstract:
A MOS transistor is manufactured. A eutectic semiconductor layer (4) of silicon and germanium is formed on a semiconductor substrate (10). The eutectic semiconductor layer (4) of silicon and germanium is doped at an impurity concentration greater than 10 /cm by ion implantation. The doped eutectic semiconductor layer is heat-treated to form a diffused layer (5) having a low resistance and a shallow junction by solid-phase diffusion from the eutectic semiconductor layer (4). The doped eutectic semiconductor layer (4) of silicon and germanium is then removed using an etching solution to form source and drain regions.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing semiconductor components. At least one highly doped area is introduced into a wafer. A solid glass layer (2; 4; 2, 3; 4, 5) which is provided with a doping agent is mounted on at least one of the two sides of a semiconductor wafer (1). In a further step, the wafer is heated to high temperatures in such a way that the doping agent leaves the glass layer and penetrates deep into the wafer in order to produce the at least one doped area (10; 11). In a further step, the glass layer is removed. The inventive method is used for producing homogeneous, highly doped areas. Said areas can be introduced through the two sides of the wafer and can have different doping types.
Abstract:
In a trench-gate semiconductor device, for example a cellular power MOSFET, the gate (11) is present in a trench (20) that extends through the channel-accommodating region (15) of the device. An underlying body portion (16) that carries a high voltage in an off state of the device is present adjacent to a side wall of a lower part (20b) of the trench (20). Instead of being a single high-resistivity region, this body portion (16) comprises first regions (61) of a first conductivity type interposed with second regions (62) of the opposite second conductivity type. In the conducting state of the device, the first regions (61) provide parallel current paths through the thick body portion (16), from the conduction channel (12) in the channel-accommodating region (15). In an off-state of the device, the body portion (16) carries a depletion layer (50). The first region (61) of this body portion (16) is present between the second region (62) and the side wall (22) of the lower part (20b) of the trench (20) and has a doping concentration (Nd) of the first conductivity type that is higher than the doping concentration (Na) of the second conductivity type of the second region (62). A balanced space charge is nonetheless obtained by depletion of the first and second regions (61, 62), because the width (W1) of the first region (61) is made smaller than the width (W2) of the lower-doped second region (62). This device structure can have a low on-resistance and high breakdown voltage, while also permitting its commercial manufacture using dopant out-diffusion from the lower trench part (20b) into the lower-doped second region (62) to form the first region (61).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a discrete or integrated bipolar transistor comprising a base (1A), an emitter (2) and a collector (3). The base (1A) and a connecting region (1B) of the base (1A) are formed by providing a semiconductor body (10) with a doped semiconducting layer (1) which locally borders on a monocrystalline part (3) of the semiconductor body which forms the collector (3). Outside said base, the layer (1) borders on a non-monocrystalline part (4) of the semiconductor body (10) and forms a non-monocrystalline connecting region (1B) of the base (1A). By means of a mask (5), the doping concentration of the layer (1) outside the mask (5) is selectively increased, resulting in a highly conducting connection region (1B) and a very fast transistor. In the known method, an ion implantation is used for this purpose. In a method in accordance with the invention, this is achieved by bringing the semiconductor body (10) into contact with a gaseous substance (40) comprising a doping element, and heating the semiconductor body (10) in such a manner that the doping elements penetrate into the semiconducting layer (1). The supply of the gaseous substance (40), for example diborane, preferably takes place at a temperature between 800 and 950 DEG C for one to several minutes. Subsequently, a slightly longer diffusion step can be carried out, for example, at 850 DEG C.
