  • Patent number: 9496221
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. A semiconductor device includes a bond pad and a fuse layer. The bond pad includes a coating on an upper surface. A dielectric layer is formed over the bond pad and the fuse layer. A passivation layer is formed over the dielectric layer. An etch is performed to form a bond pad opening and a fuse opening. The etch is performed using only a single mask. The fuse opening defines a fuse window. The upper surface of the bond pad is exposed by substantially removing the coating from the entire upper surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6797983
    Abstract: A method is provided to fabricate a LCOS back plane structure. The present invention utilized a HV device such as HV CMOS transistor (high voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistor) and a HV capacitor layer are applied to the substrate. Furthermore, the HV capacitor layer has a higher dielectric layer and coupling ratio to sustain the higher operating voltage, such that the operating capacitance can be raised. Moreover, the HV CMOS transistor is combined with a mirror layer which has a higher reflective property, such that the LCOS back-plate structure has the better contrast and chrominance output in per area unit, when the operating voltage range is increased.

  • Patent number: 6624079
    Abstract: The method for forming high voltage device combined with a mixed mode process use an un-doped polysilicon layer instead of the conventional polysilicon layer. In the high resistance area, the ion implant is not used until the source region and the drain region are formed. A resistor is formed by etching oxide-nitride-oxide layer and performing ion implant process by using BF2 radical to the un-doped polysilicon layer to control the resistance. Then multitudes of contact are formed, wherein the high dosage of BF2 implant would reduce resistance between contacts and resistor.

  • Publication number: 20030036276
    Abstract: A method for forming a high resistance resistor with an integrated high voltage device process is disclosed. First and second field oxide areas are formed on a substrate and an undoped first polysilicon layer is deposited. A first photoresist layer having a resistor pattern is formed on the first field oxide area and a first ion implant process is performed with the first photoresist layer as a mask which is then removed and an oxide nitride oxide (ONO) layer is formed on the first polysilicon layer. The ONO layer and the first polysilicon layer are etched to form a resistor on the first field oxide area and a first electrode of a capacitor on the second field oxide area. A second polysilicon layer is formed on the capacitor ONO layer as a second electrode of the capacitor. A second photoresist layer is formed on the substrate, the resistor and the capacitor and has an opening pattern to expose the resistor. The ONO layer is removed from the resistor.
