Patent number: 9018069Abstract: A semiconductor structure and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor structure comprises a diode. The diode comprises a first doped region, a second doped region and a third doped region. The first doped region and the third doped region have a first conductivity type. The second doped region has a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. The second doped region and the third doped region are separated from each other by the first doped region. The third doped region has a first portion and a second portion adjacent to each other. The first portion and the second portion are respectively adjacent to and away from the second doped region. A dopant concentration of the first portion is bigger than a dopant concentration of the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Macronix International Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chieh-Chih Chen, Cheng-Chi Lin, Shih-Chin Lien, Shyi-Yuan Wu

Publication number: 20150048452Abstract: A semiconductor device, in particular, an ultra-high metal oxide semiconductor (UHV MOS) device, is defined by a doped gradient structure in a drain region. For example, an ultra-high n-type metal oxide semiconductor (UHV NMOS) device is defined by an n-doped gradient structure in the drain region. The n-doped gradient structure has at least one of a high voltage n- (HVN-) well, a drain side high voltage n-type deep (HVND) well, and a drain side n-type well (NW) disposed in the drain region. A drain side n+ well is additionally disposed in the at least one of the HVN- well, the drain side HVND well, and the drain side NW. A method of manufacturing a UHV NMOS device having a doped gradient structure of a drain region is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2013Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: Macronix International Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chieh-Chih Chen, Yu-Jui Chang, Cheng-Chi Lin, Shih-Chin Lien, Shyi-Yuan Wu
