Patents by Inventor Xueming Dexter TAN

Xueming Dexter TAN 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: 10553701
    Abstract: A device and a method for forming a device are disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate prepared with a device region. A device well having second polarity type dopants is formed in the substrate. A threshold voltage (VT) implant is performed with a desired level of second polarity type dopants into the substrate. The VT implant forms a VT adjust region to obtain a desired VT of a transistor. A co-implantation with diffusion suppression material is performed to form a diffusion suppression (DS) region in the substrate. The DS region reduces or prevents segregation and out-diffusion of the VT implanted second polarity type dopants. A transistor of a first polarity type having a gate is formed in the device region. First and second diffusion regions are formed adjacent to sidewalls of the gate.

  • Patent number: 9859415
    Abstract: High voltage devices and methods for forming a high voltage device are disclosed. The high voltage device includes a substrate prepared with a device isolation region. The device isolation region defines a device region. The device region includes at least first and second source/drain regions and a gate region defined thereon. A device well is disposed in the device region. The device well encompasses the at least first and second source/drain regions. A primary gate and at least one secondary gate adjacent to the primary gate are disposed in the gate region. The at least first and second source/drain regions are displaced from first and second sides of the primary gate.
