    摘要: Asymmetric gated fin field effect transistor (FET) (finFET) diodes are disclosed. In one aspect, an asymmetric gated finFET diode employs a substrate that includes a well region of a first-type and a fin disposed in a direction. A first source/drain region is employed that includes a first-type doped material disposed in the fin having a first length in the direction. A second source/drain region having a second length in the direction larger than the first length is employed that includes a second-type doped material disposed in the fin. A gate region is disposed between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region and has a third length in the direction that is larger than the first length and larger than the second length. The wider gate region increases a length of a depletion region of the asymmetric gated finFET diode, which reduces current leakage while avoiding increase in area.

    摘要: An improvement is achieved in the IE effect of a semiconductor device including an IGBT having an active cell region with an EGE structure. Each of a plurality of hybrid cell regions extending in a Y-axis direction has first, second, and third trench electrodes extending in the Y-axis direction, a p-type body region, and contact trenches provided between the first and second trench electrodes and between the first and third trench electrodes to extend in the Y-axis direction and reach middle points in the p-type body region. Each of the hybrid cell regions further has a plurality of n+-type emitter regions formed in an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate located between the contact trenches and the first trench electrode to be shallower than the contact trenches and spaced apart at regular intervals in the Y-direction in plan view. The n+-type emitter regions are arranged in a staggered configuration in plan view.
