    摘要: A tank-isolated drain extended power device (50, 60, 70, 80) having an added laterally extending heavily doped p-type region (56, 62, 72) in combination with a p-type Dwell (32) which reduces minority carrier buildup. The p-doped regions are defined in a P-epi layer surrounded by a buried NBL region (14) connected with a deep low resistance drain region (16) forming a guardring. This additional laterally extending p-doped region (56,62,72) reduces minority carrier build up such that recovery time is significantly reduced, and power loss is also significantly reduced due to reduced collection time of the minority carriers. The device may be formed as an LDMOS device.

    摘要: A power integrated circuit architecture (10) having a high side transistor (100) interposed between a control circuit (152) and a low side transistor (100) to reduce the effects of the low side transistor on the operation of the control circuit. The low side transistor has a heavily p-doped region (56) designed to reduce minority carrier lifetime and improve minority carrier collection to reduce the minority carriers from disturbing the control circuit. The low side transistor has a guardring (16) tied to an analog ground, whereby the control circuit is tied to a digital ground, such that the collection of the minority carriers into the analog ground does not disturb the operation of the control circuit. The low side transistor is comprised of multiple transistor arrays (90) partitioned by at least one deep n-type region (16), which deep n-type region forms a guardring about the respective transistor array. The guardring isolates minority carriers in one transistor array from another transistor array, and facilitates the collection of the minority carriers therethrough.

    摘要: High performance digital transistors (140) and analog transistors (144, 146) are formed at the same time. The digital transistors (140) include first pocket regions (134) for optimum performance. These pocket regions (134) are masked from at least the drain side of the analog transistors (144, 146) to provide a flat channel doping profile on the drain side. Second pocket regions (200) may be formed in the analog transistors. The flat channel doping profile provides high early voltage and higher gain.

    摘要: A thick copper interconnection structure and method for an LDMOS transistor for power semiconductor devices. A large LDMOS transistor is formed of a plurality of source and drain diffusion regions to be coupled together to form the source and drain. Gate regions are formed between the alternating source and drain diffusions. Each diffusion region has a first metal layer stripe formed over it and in electrical contact with it. A second metal layer conductor is formed over a plurality of the first metal layer stripes, and selectively contacts the first metal layer stripes to form a source and a drain bus. A thick third metal layer is then formed over each second metal layer bus, either physically contacting it or selectively electrically contacting it. The thick third level metal is fabricated of a highly conductive copper layer. The thick third level metal bus substantially lowers the resistance of the LDMOS transistor and further eliminates current debiasing and early failure location problems experienced with LDMOS transistors of the prior art. Other devices and methods are described.

A first region of first conductivity type is disposed in the higher doped portion and a second region of opposite conductivity type and more highly doped than the first tank is spaced from the first region. Structure is provided between the first and second regions for repelling majority charge carriers associated with the opposite conductivity type which can be a field plate spaced from the first tank; a portion at the surface of the first tank having the first conductivity type; or a tank, of first conductivity type disposed in the first tank, abutting the first region, extending more deeply into the first tank than does the first region and more lightly doped than the first region. In accordance with a further embodiment, the diode includes a semiconductor substrate, a first tank portion disposed in the substrate and a second tank portion disposed in the first tank portion as in the prior embodiments. A first region of first conductivity type is disposed in the second tank portion and extends into the first tank portion.

    摘要: A method is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor device at a face of a semiconductor layer having a first conductivity type. Over the semiconductor layer and insulating therefrom a gate conductive layer is formed, which has a predetermined pattern defining an opening. A well of a second conductivity type is then implanted into the face of the semiconductor layer by self-aligning to the sidewall of the gate conductive layer. A first surface region of the first conductivity type is formed within the well and self-aligned to the sidewall of the gate conductive layer. A sacrificial sidewall layer is formed in the opening which defines a second narrower opening, so that a subsurface region of the second conductivity type may be formed within the well self-aligned to the sacrificial sidewall layer. A second surface region of the second conductivity type is then formed substantially within the first surface region and self-aligned to the sacrificial sidewall layer. The construct of the first and second surface regions is such that the second surface region at the face of the semiconductor layer is substantially surrounded by the first surface region. The sacrificial sidewall layer is removed and a thinner insulating sidewall is formed in the opening. In this manner, the second surface region as well as a portion of the first surface region substantially surrounding the first surface region are exposed. Subsequently, a source electrode contacting the exposed second surface region and the exposed first surface region substantially surrounding the second surface region at the face of said semiconductor layer is formed.
