  • Publication number: 20100059832
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device including a depletion type MOS transistor and an enhancement type MOS transistor. In the semiconductor device, in order to provide a reference voltage generating circuit having an enhanced temperature characteristic or analog characteristic without increasing an area of the semiconductor device through addition of a circuit, well regions of the depletion type MOS transistor and the enhancement type MOS transistor, which have different concentrations from each other, are formed.

  • Publication number: 20100025764
    Abstract: Provided is a manufacturing method for an offset MOS transistor capable of operating safely even under a voltage of 50 V or higher. In the offset MOS transistor which includes a LOCOS oxide film, the LOCOS oxide film formed in a periphery of a drain diffusion layer, in which a high withstanding voltage is required, is etched, and the drain diffusion layer is formed so as to spread into a surface region of a semiconductor substrate located below a region in which the LOCOS oxide film is thinned. As a result, end portions of the drain diffusion layer are covered by an offset diffusion layer, whereby electric field concentration occurring in a region of a lower portion of the drain diffusion layer can be relaxed.

  • Publication number: 20090283864
    Abstract: In order to reduce a device area, a bipolar transistor using temperature characteristics of a forward voltage generated between an emitter and a base has a structure in which a high concentration second conductivity type impurity region for a base electrode and a high concentration first conductivity type impurity region for a collector electrode are brought into direct contact with each other to prevent formation of an unnecessary isolation region. Further, an emitter region is disposed to self-align with a device isolation insulating film or a polycrystalline silicon arranged on a surface of a semiconductor substrate.

  • Patent number: 4538167
    Abstract: The semiconductor device relates to a shorted junction type programmable read only memory semiconductor device. The memory consists of a semiconductor region including a PN junction or a Schottky junction and a control electrode coupled to the junction. The junction is destroyed or shorted by causing a field or carrier injection effect in the semiconductor region with a voltage impressed on the control electrode.
