  • Publication number: 20200075735
    Abstract: In an edge termination region, a trench is provided near a boundary of an active region. An embedded insulating film is embedded in the trench, and an inner FP and an outer FP are provided in the embedded insulating film. The inner FP extends from a center portion of the trench, upward and toward the active region and is curved in a protrusion-like shape that protrudes in a direction away from a side wall and a bottom of the trench. An upper end of the inner FP opposes an inner top corner portion of the trench, across the embedded insulating film or the interlayer insulating film. The upper end of the inner FP is positioned a predetermined distance from the front surface of the semiconductor substrate due to the embedded insulating film between the upper end of the inner FP and the front surface of the semiconductor substrate.

  • Patent number: 10137880
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle determines a scheduled travel route. The control apparatus further determines a downhill section included in the scheduled travel route by using gradient information acquired for a road section at a time when the vehicle has traveled on the road section and using gradient information stored in a navigation database for a road section on which the vehicle travels for a first time. The control apparatus determines a section from a downhill control start point to an end point of the target downhill section as a downhill control section. The downhill control start point is a point located a predetermined first distance closer to the vehicle from a start point of the target downhill section. When the vehicle travels on the downhill control section, the control apparatus executes downhill control.

  • Publication number: 20160211348
    Abstract: A trench lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device, disposed on a substrate, comprising: a transistor and an LDMOS transistor. The transistor has a gate. The LDMOS transistor has a trench gate, wherein the trench gate protrudes from a surface of the substrate. Electrical connection of the trench gate and a doping region due to a metal silicide may be prevented by protruding the trench gate from the surface of the substrate. And furthermore a step height difference between a gate and the trench gate may be decreased, and openings respectively exposing a top portion of the trench gate and a top portion of the gate may be formed without changing the manufacturing conditions.
