  • Publication number: 20070298562
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) device that integrates a TLPM (trench lateral power MOSFET) and one or more planar semiconductor devices on a semiconductor substrate. In manufacturing the semiconductor IC device according to one embodiment, a trench etching forms a trench. A p-type body region, an n-type expanded drain region, and a thick oxide film are formed. A second trench etching deepens the trench. Gate oxide films and gate electrodes of the TLPM, an NMOSFET, and a PMOSFET are formed. P-type base regions of the TLPM and an NPN bipolar transistor are formed. An n-type source and drain region of the TLPM, and n-type diffusion regions of the NMOSFET and the NPN bipolar transistor are formed. P-type diffusion regions of the PMOSFET and the NPN bipolar transistor are formed. An interlayer oxide film, a contact electrode, and constituent metal electrodes are formed.

  • Publication number: 20050017300
    Abstract: A lateral double diffused MOSFET (LDMOST) incorporates both the reduced surface field (RESURF) and super junction (SJ) in a split-drift region to significantly improve the on-state, off-state and switching characteristics in junction-isolated (JI) technology. The structure effectively suppresses substrate-assisted-depletion which is the main problem encountered when applying the SJ concept to lateral power devices. The device structure features a split-drift region formed of two parts: a SJ structure that extends over most of the drift region, and a terminating RESURF region occupying a portion of the drift region next to the drain. The structure offers improved breakdown voltage and reduced specific on resistance as compared to convention structures, and is useful in power integrated circuits suitable for a variety of applications including flat plasma panel display, automotive electronics, motor control, power supply and high voltage lamp ballasts.
