  • Patent number: 6759714
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor fabrication technology; and, more particularly, to a semiconductor device having a heat release structure that uses a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. The device and method of the present research provides a semiconductor device having a high heat-release structure and high heat-release structure, and a fabrication method thereof. In the research, the heat and high-frequency noises that are generated in the integrated circuit are released outside of the substrate through the tunneling region quickly by forming an integrated circuit on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, aiid removing a buried insulation layer under the integrated circuit to form a tunneling region. The heat-release efficiency can be enhanced much more, when unevenness is formed on the surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the tunneling region, or when the air or other gases having excellent heat conductivity is flown into the tunneling region.

  • Publication number: 20040094797
    Abstract: The MOS transistor of the present invention is manufactured by a conventional complementary MOS transistor technology. In the manufacturing method of the MOS transistor having nanometer dimensions, a gate having dimensions at a nanometer scale can be formed through control of the width of spacers instead of with a specific lithography technology. The doped spacers are used for forming source/drain extension regions having an ultra-shallow junction, thereby avoiding damage on the substrate caused by ion implantation. In addition, a dopant is diffused from the doped space into a semiconductor substrate through annealing to form the source/drain extension regions having an ultra-shallow junction.

  • Patent number: 6534365
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a vertical TDMOS power device using sidewall spacers and a self-align technique and a TDMOS power device of the same. The TDMOS is fabricated using only 3 masks and a source is formed using the self-align technique to embody a highly integrated trench formation. During the process, ion implantation of high concentration into the bottom of the trench makes a thick oxide film grow on the bottom and the corner of the gate, so that electrical characteristic, specifically leakage current and breakdown voltage of the device can be improved. Also, process steps can be much decreased to lower process cost, high integration is possible, and reliability of the device can be improved.

  • Patent number: 6511886
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a trench-gate type power semiconductor device is provided. A drift region having a low concentration of a first conductivity type and a body region of a second conductivity type are formed on a semiconductor substrate having a high concentration of the first conductivity type. A trench is formed using a nitride layer pattern and a sidewall oxide layer formed at sidewalls of the nitride layer pattern as a mask, and then the sidewall oxide layer is removed. The corners of the trench are rounded by performing a heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere. A source region having a high concentration of the first conductivity type is formed using the nitride layer pattern as a mask. The nitride layer pattern is removed, and an upper oxide layer pattern is formed to cover a predetermined portion of the source region and the gate conductive layer. A body contact region of the second conductivity type is formed using the upper oxide layer pattern as a mask.

  • Patent number: 6211018
    Abstract: A semiconductor technique is disclosed. Particularly a low voltage high current power device for use in a lithium ion secondary battery protecting circuit, a DC-DC converter and a motor is disclosed. Further, a method for fabricating a high density trench gate type power device is disclosed. That is, in the present invention, a trench gate mask is used for forming the well and/or source, and for this purpose, a side wall spacer is introduced. In this manner, the well and/or source is defined by using the trench gate mask, and therefore, 1 or 2 masking processes are skipped unlike the conventional process in which the well mask and the source mask are separately used. The decrease in the use of the masking process decreases the mask align errors, and therefore, the realization of a high density is rendered possible. Consequently, the on-resistance which is an important factor for the power device can be lowered.
