  • Patent number: 5461253
    Abstract: A semiconductor circuit structure including a semiconductor substrate portion and at least one region provided on one main surface thereof insulatedly isolated from other regions provided on the same surface, by burying means made of an oxide film, the burying means including a bottom flat portion and at least one side wall portion provided at least in the vicinity of an edge portion of and integrally formed with the bottom flat portion, thereby a semiconductor circuit structure provided with a plurality of insulatedly isolated regions on a main surface thereof and having a high withstand voltage can be obtained in a short production process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 1994
    Date of Patent: October 24, 1995
    Assignee: Nippon Steel Inc.

  • Patent number: 5313092
    Abstract: A semiconductor device of vertical arrangement includes an anode region formed of a first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate joined with the first semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor substrate forms a high-resistance layer with a predetermined impurity density, and the second semiconductor substrate forms a low-resistance layer whose impurity density is higher than that of the high-resistance layer. A PN junction is formed inside the first semiconductor substrate. The periphery of the first semiconductor substrate including the PN junction is configured in an inverted mesa structure and coated with an insulation material. With this arrangement, the semiconductor device has a high withstand voltage and enables an employment of a large diameter wafer.

  • Patent number: 4992846
    Abstract: In a method of producing a semiconductor device, an amorphous silicon layer is deposited on a polycrystalline silicon layer formed on an insulator layer (SiO.sub.2). Ions are implanted into the amorphous silicon layer while heat treating the amorphous silicon layer at a low temperature thereby forming a solid-phase growth layer, and a transistor is formed of the solid-phase growth layer.

  • Patent number: 4819037
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device having mainly vertical semiconductor elements, a plurality of semiconductor elements are formed in spaced relationship from each other on an insulation layer formed on a substrate and therefore completed isolated electrically from each other. A plurality of semiconductor intermetallic compound layers used as electrodes are formed independently in the same spaced relationship as the semiconductor elements for the respective semiconductor elements, making it possible to determine the potential for each semiconductor element as desired. Both N-type DMOS and P-type DMOS or the like can thus be formed on a single seminconductor single crystal substrate.
