  • Patent number: 12262553
    Abstract: A field stop insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) fabricated without back-side laser dopant activation or any process temperatures over 450° C. after fabrication of front-side IGBT structures provides activated injection regions with controlled dopant concentrations. Injection regions may be formed on or in a substrate by epitaxial growth or ion implants and diffusion before growth of N field stop and drift layers and front-side fabrication of IGBT active cells. Back-side material removal can expose the injection region(s) for electrical connection to back-side metal. Alternatively, after front-side fabrication of IGBT active cells, back-side material removal can expose the field stop layer (or injection regions) and sputtering using a silicon target with a well-controlled doping concentration can form hole or electron injection regions with well-controlled doping concentration.

  • Patent number: 12237221
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of depositing tungsten (W) films without depositing a nucleation layer. In certain embodiments, the methods involve depositing a conformal reducing agent layer of boron (B) and/or silicon (Si) on a substrate. The substrate generally includes a feature to be filled with tungsten with the reducing agent layer conformal to the topography of the substrate including the feature. The reducing agent layer is then exposed to a fluorine-containing tungsten precursor, which is reduced by the reducing agent layer to form a layer of elemental tungsten. The conformal reducing agent layer is converted to a conformal tungsten layer.
