  • Patent number: 9209183
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a first doped region and a second doped region both formed in a substrate. The first and second doped regions are oppositely doped. The semiconductor device includes a first gate formed over the substrate. The first gate overlies a portion of the first doped region and a portion of the second doped region. The semiconductor device includes a second gate formed over the substrate. The second gate overlies a different portion of the second doped region. The semiconductor device includes a first voltage source that provides a first voltage to the second gate. The semiconductor device includes a second voltage source that provides a second voltage to the second doped region. The first and second voltages are different from each other.

  • Patent number: 9196751
    Abstract: A method for simultaneously forming JFET devices and MOSFET devices on a substrate includes using gate structures which serve as active gate structures in the MOSFET region, as dummy gate structures in the JFET portion of the device. The dummy gate electrodes are used as masks and determine the spacing between gate regions and source/drain regions, the width of the gate regions, and the spacing between adjacent gate regions according to some embodiments. The transistor channel is therefore accurately dimensioned.

  • Patent number: 8524562
    Abstract: A method to reduce (avoid) Fermi Level Pinning (FLP) in high mobility semiconductor compound channel such as Ge and III-V compounds (e.g. GaAs or InGaAs) in a Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) device. The method is using atomic hydrogen which passivates the interface of the high mobility semiconductor compound with the gate dielectric and further repairs defects. The methods further improve the MOS device characteristics such that a MOS device with a quantum well is created.
