摘要:
A process for fabricating transistors on a substrate is disclosed. In accordance with the process, stacks of material are formed on the surface of the substrate. Walls of silicon dioxide are created around the stacks in order to insulate the material within the stacks from the material deposited outside of the walls. A first layer of polycrystalline material is deposited over the substrate and selectively removed such that only those portions of the polycrystalline layer that surround the stacks of material remain. A layer of silicon nitride or silicon dioxide is then formed over the substrate surface. A first resist is then spun on the substrate surface. This resist aggregates near the stacks of material. An isolation mask is generated that leaves exposed only those areas of the substrate that correspond to the area of overlap between the first polycrystalline area and the stacks of material, which also contain a layer of polycrystalline material. The substrate is then subjected to an etchback process to remove the portion of the polysilicon material that overlaps the material in the stacks.

An embodiment of the present invention is a method of fabricating power and non-power devices on a semiconductor substrate, the method comprising: forming alignment marks in the substrate (100); introducing a dopant of a first conductivity type into the substrate to form high-voltage tank regions ( 103); annealing the dopants (105); introducing dopants of the first conductivity type and a second conductivity type in a region in the high-voltage tank region (109); annealing the dopants of the first and the second conductivity type to form a second region within a third region, both within the high-voltage tank region, due to the different rates of diffusion of the dopants (110); and forming gate structures after the annealing of the dopants of the first and second conductivity types (122).

A process for creating bipolar and CMOS transistors on a p-type silicon substrate is disclosed. The silicon substrate has typical n+ buried wells and field oxide regions to isolate the individual transistor devices. In accordance with the process, stacks of material are created over the gate elements of the CMOS devices and over the emitter elements of the bipolar transistors. The stacks of material over the gate elements have a silicon dioxide gate layer in contact with the epitaxial layer of the substrate, and the stacks of material over the emitter elements have a polycrystalline silicon layer in contact with the epitaxial layer. Walls of silicon dioxide are created around the stacks in order to insulate the material within the stacks from the material deposited outside of the walls. Polycrystalline silicon in contact with the epitaxial layer is deposited outside the walls surrounding the stacks. All polycrystalline silicon layers in contact with the epitaxial layer are implanted with appropriate dopants such that these layers serve as reservoirs of dopant in order to simultaneously create the source and drain elements of the CMOS devices and the emitter elements of the bipolar devices during a heating step in the process. A tungsten layer is deposited over the polycrystalline layer in order to provide a conductive coupling to aluminum electrodes.

Apart from the base fingers (10), this transistor includes a titanium silicide coating, from which the base diffusions have been formed, and a silicon nitride coating (4). The edges of sandwiches made up of bands (3) and (4) are bordered by a silica bank (7) formed automatically by deposit and anisotropic attack, without additional masking. The emitter fingers (9) are overhung by a polycrystalline silicon layer (8) from which doping of these fingers has been obtained.The possibility is also obtained, automatically and without masks alignment, of having the emitter and base fingers brought firmly together with minimum protection distances.
摘要:
A pair of field-effect transistors (hereinafter referred to as FETs) of p-channel type and n-channel type, respectively, both to be electrically actuated in a depletion mode, are formed on a single semiconductor substrate, for instance, a single silicon substrate, and both sources or both drains are connected to each other, or the source of one FET and the drain of the other FET are connected to each other, whereby the pair of FETs are series-connected, and the gate electrode of each FET is connected to the drain electrode or the source electrode that is not series connected in the abovementioned way, respectively, of the other FET. When a voltage of specified range is applied across both non-series-connected electrodes, i.e., the two external terminals, the resulting voltage-current characteristic presents a so-called dynatron-type characteristic, producing a negative-resistance phenomenon over a fairly wide range of applied voltage.Since this device is, as seen from outside as one device, a two-terminal device constituted on a single substrate, it is not only fit to be highly integrated, but also able to produce a state of virtually zero value of cut-off current. Consequently, this device can be utilized for switching, memorization, large amplitude oscillation, and other various uses.

摘要:
A semiconductor device having a high current amplification gain which includes a low impurity concentration in the emitter region of the device, an injected minority carrier diffusion length L greater than the width of the emitter, and a high impurity concentration region of the same type as the emitter overlying at least a portion of said emitter region which provides a built-in-field where there is a drift current of minority carriers back toward the base region. The built-in field is larger than kT(qL) so that the drift current adjacent the built-in-field substantially cancels the minority carrier diffusion current injected from the base region.
摘要:
An integrated circuit and method for forming the same including a lateral bipolar transistor having an increased current gain. Floating islands are formed in the emitter of the lateral transistor to have a conductivity type opposite that of the emitter and which act to channel current towards the periphery of the emitter, thereby directing the current towards the collector region. In addition, the integrated circuit includes a buried layer underlying the lateral transistor with the buried layer pinched very thin along a region which outlines the edge of the emitter for enhancing lateral current flow.
