Abstract:
MOS device (1) formed in a semiconductor body (2) having a first conductivity type and a surface (7) and housing a first current-conduction region (3) and a second current-conduction region (4), of a second conductivity type. The first and second current-conduction regions (3, 4) define between them a channel (5), arranged below a gate region (10), formed on top of the surface (7) and electrically insulated from the channel region (5). A conductive region (12) extends on top of a portion (5a) of the channel (5), adjacent to and insulated from the gate region only on a side thereof facing the first current-conduction region (3). The conductive region (12) is biased so as to modulate the current flowing in the channel (5).
Abstract:
A process for selectively introducing a dopant into the bottom of a trench (13) formed in a semiconductor material layer (10) provides for depositing a barrier layer (14) by means of a process of deposition over the semiconductor material layer (10), so as to form a deposited barrier layer (14) having, over lateral walls and a bottom wall of the trench, a thickness which is lower than a nominal thickness of the deposited barrier layer (14) over a planar surface of the semiconductor material layer (10), and implanting a dopant using the deposited barrier layer (14) as an implant mask.
Abstract:
A process for fabricating a vertical structure high carrier mobility transistor on a substrate (1) of crystalline silicon doped with impurities of the N type, having a collector region (2) located at a lower portion of the substrate, the process comprising the steps of:
defining a window (10) in the semiconductor substrate (1); providing a first implantation of germanium (Ge) atoms through said window (10); providing a second implantation of acceptor dopants through said window (10) to define a base region; applying an RTA treatment, or treatment in an oven, to reconstruct the crystal lattice within the semiconductor substrate comprising a silicon/germanium alloy (Si 1-x Ge x ); forming a first thin dielectric layer (12) of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) by chemical vapor deposition; depositing a second dielectric layer (14) onto said first dielectric layer (12); depositing a polysilicon layer (15) onto said second dielectric layer (14); etching away, within the window region (10), said first (12) and second (14) dielectric layers, and the polysilicon layer (15), to expose the base region (3) and form isolation spacers (50) at the window edges; forming an N-doped emitter (4) in the base (3) and window regions.
This fabrication process is specially attentive to the formation of the silicon dioxide SiO 2 /Ge x Si 1-x interface present in vertical structure HBT transistors, if isolation spacers are to be formed. The fabrication process of this invention allows the frequency field of application of HBT transistors to be further extended, while eliminating deviations of the base currents from the ideal.
