Patents by Inventor Klaus Roschlau

Klaus Roschlau 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).

  • Publication number: 20100330765
    Abstract: Integrated transistor and method for the production is disclosed. An explanation is given of, inter alia, a transistor having an electrically insulating isolating trench extending from a main area in the direction of a connection region remote from the main area. Moreover, the transistor contains an auxiliary trench extending from the main area as far as the connection region remote from the main area. The transistor requires a small chip area and has outstanding electrical properties.
    Type: Application

    Applicant: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Karlheinz Muller, Klaus Roschlau
  • Patent number: 7767528
    Abstract: A field effect transistor (FET) and fabrication method are disclosed. The FET includes a drift region formed in a substrate. A trench adjoins the drift region and contains at least one control region and a connection region. An inversion channel region is isolated from the control region. A portion of the trench extends to the same depth as a second trench that insulates the FET from other components formed in the substrate. Insulating material is disposed between the trench below the control region and the control region. An insulating layer insulates the FET from the substrate. The trench and/or the connection region may extend into the insulating layer or may be isolated from the insulating layer via the drift region.

  • Patent number: 6852598
    Abstract: A method for the fabrication of a DMOS transistor structure provides the advantage that, through the use of a protective layer, the DMOS transistor structure, which has already been substantially completed, is protected from the adverse effects of further process steps. The DMOS gate electrode is not, as is customary in the prior art, patterned using a single lithography step, but, rather, the patterning of the DMOS gate electrode is split between two lithography steps. In a first lithography step, substantially only the source region of the DMOS transistor structure is opened. Therefore, the electrode layer that is still present can be used as a mask for the subsequent fabrication of the body region.
