Abstract:
A lateral double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) bulk finFET device for high-voltage operation includes a first-well region and two or more second-well regions formed on a substrate material and one or more non-well regions including substrate material. The non-well regions are configured to separate well regions of the second-well regions. A source structure is disposed on a first fin that is partially formed on the first-well region. A drain structure is disposed on a second fin that is formed on a last one of the second-well regions. One or more dummy regions are formed on the one or more non-well regions. The dummy regions are configured to provide additional depletion region flow paths including vertical flow paths for charge carriers to enable the high-voltage operation.
Abstract:
A capacitor structure in a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, an isolation region having a top surface and a bottom surface, opposite the top surface, the bottom surface of the isolation region being disposed on the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The capacitor structure also includes a gate terminal structure disposed on the top surface of the isolation region and a diffusion contact structure disposed on the top surface of the isolation region and arranged parallel to the gate terminal structure. In some aspects, the gate terminal structure is connected to a first contact node and the diffusion contact structure is connected to a second contact node, in which the first and second contact nodes form opposing nodes of the capacitor structure.

Abstract:
A method for forming a dielectric-isolated bulk fin field-effect transistor (finFET) device includes forming a second isolation layer over a first structure including multiple partially exposed fins and horizontal areas including a first isolation layer. The second isolation layer is removed from horizontal areas of a first portion of the first structure. An oxide layer is formed under the fins of the first portion of the first structure. The second isolation layer is removed in order to expose the partially exposed fins and horizontal areas of the first structure to form a second structure, on which gate regions are formed.
Abstract:
A fin-shaped field-effect transistor device is provided. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may include a semiconductor substrate having a top and a bottom surface. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include a fin structure disposed on the top surface of the semiconductor substrate, where the fin structure includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite of the first sidewall. The first sidewall is adjacent to a first region of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate and the second sidewall is adjacent to a second region of the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include an insulation layer disposed above the fin structure and the first and second regions of the top surface. The fin-shaped field effect transistor device may also include a conductor structure disposed above and adjacent to the insulation layer.
