A buried plate layer (20) is formed on a second deep trench (HB), while the first trench (1 IA) is protected from formation of any buried plate layer. The inside of the deep trenches is filled with a conductive material to form inner electrodes (4OA, 40B). At least one doped well (50) is formed outside and abutting portions of the first deep trench and constitutes at least one outer varactor electrode. Multiple doped wells (50, 60) may be connected in parallel to provide a varactor (30A, 4OA, 50, 60) having complex voltage dependency of capacitance. The buried plate layer and another doped well (52) connected thereto constitute an outer electrode of a linear capacitor formed on the second deep trench.

    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a circuit (e.g., an electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit), a design methodology and a design system. In the circuit, an ESD device is wired to a first metal level (e.g., Ml). An inductor is formed in a second metal level (e.g., M5) above the first metal level and is aligned over and electrically connected in parallel to the ESD device by a single vertical via stack. The inductor is configured to nullify, for a given application frequency, the capacitance value of the ESD device. The quality factor of the inductor is optimized by providing, on a third metal level (e.g., M3) between the second metal level and the first metal level, a shield to minimize inductive coupling. An opening in the shield allows the via stack to pass through, trading off Q factor reduction for size-scaling and ESD robustness improvements.

The perimeter capacitance well junction ring is positioned between and separates the first-type well region and the second-type well region. A second-type contact region (108) is on the second-type well region, and a first-type contact region (112) contacts the inner portion of the first-type well region. The inner portion of the first-type well region is positioned within the center of the first-type contact region.

    Abstract: A junction field effect transistor (JFET) (Fig. 4) has a hyperabrupl junction laj cr (54) that functions as a channel of a JFFT. The hyperabrupt junction layer (54) is formed by two dopant profiles (50. 52) of opposite t}pes such that one dopant concentration profile has a peak concentration depth at a tail end of the other dopant profile. The voltage bias to the channel is provided by a body ( 16) that is doped with the same type of dopants as the gate. This is in contrast with conventional JI7KTs that have a body that is doped with the opposite conductivity type as the gate. The body ( 16) may be electrically decoupled from (Figure 4, 10 and 30) the substrate by another reverse bias junction formed either between the body and the substrate or between a buried conductor layer beneath the body and the substrate (Figure 8. 16 and 1 10). The capability to form a thin hyperabrupt junction layer (54) allows formation of a JFET in a semiconductor-on-insulator substrate (Figure 11. 210. 230).
