The periphery length of the third plating deposition portion is longer than the periphery length of the second plating deposition portion.
Abstract:
A high side transistor is coupled between a high potential side power source node and an intermediate node, and a recirculation diode is coupled between a low potential side power source node and the intermediate node, thereby forming a recirculation path when the high side transistor is OFF. A power source supply line couples the high potential side power source node with one end of the high side transistor. A surge recirculation device causes a current to flow in one direction, and a surge recirculation line couples the one end of the high side transistor to the high potential side power source node through the surge recirculation device, and causes a surge generated at the one end of the high side transistor to recirculate toward the high potential side power source node.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a transistor. The method includes forming a channel region by implanting impurity ions of a second conductive type into an element forming region that is formed on one side of a substrate and is partitioned by an element isolation insulating film, forming a trench in said channel region formed on said one side of said substrate, covering side faces and a bottom face of said trench with a gate insulating film by forming said gate insulating film on said one side of said substrate, forming a gate electrode so as to bury an inside of said trench, patterning said gate electrode in a predetermined shape; and forming a source region and a drain region by implanting impurity ions of a first conductive type on both sides of said channel region.
Abstract:
A portion-to-be-melted of a fuse is surrounded by plates, so that heat to be generated in a meltdown portion of the fuse under current supply can be confined or accumulated in the vicinity of the meltdown portion of the fuse. This makes it possible to facilitate meltdown of the fuse. The meltdown portion of the fuse in a folded form, rather than in a single here a fuse composed of a straight-line form, is more successful in readily concentrating the heat generated in the fuse under current supply into the meltdown portion, and in further facilitating the meltdown of the fuse.

Abstract:
Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. A semiconductor device includes a sequential stack of a buffer layer, a channel layer, and a barrier layer, and includes a mesa part including a fourth nitride semiconductor layer formed over the stack, and a side part formed on both sides of the mesa part and including a thin film part of the fourth nitride semiconductor layer. Generation of 2DEG is suppressed below the mesa part while being unsuppressed below the side part. In this way, the side part that disables the 2DEG suppression effect is provided on an end portion of the mesa part, thereby a distance from an end portion of the side part to the gate electrode is increased, making it possible to suppress leakage caused by a current path passing through an undesired channel formed between a gate insulating film and the mesa part.
Abstract:
A high-electron-mobility transistor has a buffer layer, a channel layer, a barrier layer, a mesa-shaped cap layer, a source electrode formed on one side of the cap layer, a drain electrode formed on the other side, and a gate electrode formed over the cap layer via a gate insulating film. The semiconductor device has an element isolation region defining an active region in which the semiconductor device is provided. The gate electrode extends from over the active region to the over the element isolation region. In plan view, the active region has a projection part projected to the direction of the element isolation region in a region overlapped with the gate electrode. By providing the active region with a projection part, the channel length of a parasitic transistor can be increased, and turn-on of the parasitic transistor can be suppressed.
