Patents by Inventor Peter Zeitzoff

Peter Zeitzoff 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).

  • Patent number: 9219062
    Abstract: Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate with a fin structure overlying the semiconductor substrate and having a source region, a drain region, and a channel region between the source region and drain region. The source region and the drain region each have a recessed surface. A source contact is adjacent the recessed surface in the source region and a drain contact is adjacent the recessed surface in the drain region. Linear current paths are defined from the channel region to the source contact and from the channel region to the drain contact.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8846486
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes defining a first type region and a second type region in a substrate, t separated by one or more inter-well STI structures; etching and filling, in at least one of the first type region and the second type region, one or more intra-well STI structures for isolating semiconductor devices formed within a same polarity well, wherein the one or more inter-well STI structures are formed at a substantially same depth with respect to the one or more intra-well STI structures; implanting, a main well region, wherein a bottom of the main well region is disposed above a bottom of the one or more inter-well and intra-well STI features; and implanting, one or more deep well regions that couple main well regions, wherein the one or more deep well regions are spaced away from the one or more inter-well STI structures.

  • Patent number: 8198700
    Abstract: A semiconductor device structure includes a first type region and a second type region defined in a substrate, the first type region and second type region separated by one or more inter-well shallow trench isolation (STI) structures. At least one of the first type region and the second type region has one or more intra-well STI structures formed therein for isolating semiconductor devices formed within a same polarity well. The inter-well STI structures are formed at a substantially same depth with respect to the intra-well STI structures. A main well region is formed such that a bottom of the main well region is disposed above a bottom of the inter-well and intra-well STI features. One or more deep well regions couple the main well regions otherwise isolated by the intra-well STI structures, wherein the deep well regions are spaced away from the inter-well STI structures.
