  • Patent number: 7465978
    Abstract: An electric field effect transistor of high breakdown voltage and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. A recessed portion is formed at the channel region and is filled by a protective oxide layer. Lightly doped source/drain regions are formed under the protective oxide layer. The protective oxide layer protects the lightly doped source/drain regions. Accordingly, the protective oxide layer prevents the electric field from being concentrated to a bottom corner portion of the gate structure. In addition, the effective channel length is elongated since an electric power source is connected to heavily doped source/drain regions from an outside source of the transistor, instead of being connected to lightly doped source/drain regions.

  • Patent number: 7029987
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a shallow trench isolation includes steps of forming a mask layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a shallow trench in a semiconductor substrate using the mask layer, forming at least one step in the semiconductor substrate at the top of the shallow trench, and then forming a liner layer over the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate so as to line the shallow trench and thereby offer protection during subsequent oxidation. When the mask layer is subsequently removed, the at least one step in the semiconductor substrate allows portions of the liner layer extending outside the shallow trench to be removed without creating problematic dents in the structure.

  • Patent number: 6709931
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having low-voltage MOS transistors and high-voltage metal-oxide semiconductor (“MOS”) transistors are provided. The method includes forming a device isolation layer at a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate. The device isolation layer defines first and second active regions in low and high-voltage MOS transistor regions, respectively. A capping layer pattern is formed to cover the low-voltage MOS transistor region. The capping layer pattern exposes the second active region in the high-voltage MOS transistor region. A first gate oxide layer is formed on an entire surface of the semiconductor substrate having the capping layer pattern. The first gate oxide layer is formed using a chemical vapor deposition (“CVD”) technique. The first gate oxide layer serves as a gate insulating layer of the high-voltage MOS transistor.
