Patents by Inventor Dale Neil VAUGHAN

Dale Neil VAUGHAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9660044
    Abstract: A power field effect transistor, a power field effect transistor device and a method of manufacturing a power field effect transistor are provided. During the manufacturing of the power field effect transistor, a body drive stage to manufacture the body region of the power field effect transistor is shortened to obtain a relatively low on resistance for the power field effect transistor. Before the implanting stage of the dopants of the body region, a pre body drive stage is introduced. During the pre body drive stage and the body drive stage sidewalls of a polysilicon layer of the power field effect transistor are oxidized to obtain a power field effect transistor which has at the sidewalls an oxidized polysilicon layer that is thick enough to prevent a premature current injection from the gate to the source regions of the power field effect transistor.
