  • Patent number: 11955481
    Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a PNP transistor and NPN transistor arranged vertically in a P-type doped semiconductor substrate. The PNP and NPN transistors are manufactured by: forming an N+ doped isolating well for the PNP transistor in the semiconductor substrate; forming a P+ doped region in the N+ doped isolating well; epitaxially growing a first semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming an N+ doped well for the NPN transistor, where at least part of the N+ doped well extends into the first semiconductor layer; then epitaxially growing a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer; forming a P doped region forming the collector of the PNP transistor in the second semiconductor layer and in electrical contact with the P+ doped region; and forming an N doped region forming the collector of the NPN transistor in the second semiconductor layer and in electrical contact with the N+ doped well.

  • Patent number: 11830776
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a junction field-effect transistor formed in a semiconductor substrate. The junction field-effect transistor includes a drain region, a source region, a channel region, and a gate region. A first isolating region separates the drain region from both the gate region and the channel region. A first connection region connects the drain region to the channel region by passing underneath the first isolating region in the semiconductor substrate. A second isolating region separates the source region from both the gate region and the channel region. A second connection region connects the source region to the channel region by passing underneath the second isolating region in the semiconductor substrate.

  • Patent number: 11823947
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an N-type laterally diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (NLDMOS) transistor including an active semiconductor substrate region having P-type conductivity. The integrated circuit further includes a buried semiconductor region having N+-type conductivity underneath the active substrate region. The buried semiconductor region is more heavily doped than the active semiconductor substrate region.
