Abstract: A system and method for a Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor (LDMOS) with Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) in the backgate region of FET with trench contacts is provided. The backgate diffusion region of the FET is split in the middle of the source-backgate side of the LDMOS with a strip of STI. A contact can be drawn across STI strip. The contact etch can be etched through the STI fill. The contact barrier material and trench fill processes can create a metal-semiconductor contact in the outline of the STI.

Abstract: Described examples include integrated circuits, drain extended transistors and fabrication methods in which a silicide block material or other protection layer is formed on a field oxide structure above a drift region to protect the field oxide structure from damage during deglaze processing. Further described examples include a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure that laterally surrounds an active region of a semiconductor substrate, where the STI structure is laterally spaced from the oxide structure, and is formed under gate contacts of the transistor.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an IC includes providing a substrate including a semiconductor surface having well diffusions for a plurality of devices including bipolar, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS), and double-diffused MOS (DMOS) devices. A polysilicon layer is deposited on a dielectric layer over the semiconductor surface, an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer is formed on the polysilicon layer, and a photoresist pattern is formed on the ARC layer. The ARC layer is etched in areas exposed by the photoresist pattern to define areas including gate areas having the ARC layer on the polysilicon layer. The photoresist pattern is removed. Polysilicon etching is performed in areas lacking the ARC layer to form polysilicon gates having a remaining ARC portion of the ARC layer thereon. A self-aligned ion implant uses the remaining ARC portion as an additional implant blocking layer for the polysilicon gates, and the remaining ARC portion is stripped.

Abstract: Described examples include integrated circuits, drain extended transistors and fabrication methods in which an oxide structure is formed over a drift region of a semiconductor substrate, and a shallow implantation process is performed using a first mask that exposes the oxide structure and a first portion of the semiconductor substrate to form a first drift region portion for connection to a body implant region. A second drift region portion is implanted in the semiconductor substrate under the oxide structure by a second implantation process using the first mask at a higher implant energy.

Abstract: A laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device includes a substrate having a p-epi layer thereon, a p-body region in the p-epi layer and an ndrift (NDRIFT) region within the p-body to provide a drain extension region. A gate stack includes a gate dielectric layer over a channel region in the p-body region adjacent to and on respective sides of a junction with the NDRIFT region. A patterned gate electrode is on the gate dielectric. A DWELL region is within the p-body region. A source region is within the DWELL region, and a drain region is within the NDRIFT region. An effective channel length (Leff) for the LDMOS device is 75 nm to 150 nm which evidences a DWELL implant that utilized an edge of the gate electrode to delineate an edge of a DWELL ion implant so that the DWELL region is self-aligned to the gate electrode.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a NMOS transistor with a back gate connection and a source region disposed on opposite sides of the back gate connection. The source region and back gate connection are laterally isolated by an STI oxide layer which surrounds the back gate connection. The NMOS transistor has a gate having a closed loop configuration, extending partway over a LOCOS oxide layer which surrounds, and is laterally separated from, the STI oxide layer. A lightly-doped drain layer is disposed on opposite sides of the NMOS transistor, extending under the LOCOS oxide layer to a body region of the NMOS transistor. The LOCOS oxide layer is thinner than the STI oxide layer, so that the portion of the gate over the LOCOS oxide layer provides a field plate functionality. The NMOS transistor may optionally be surrounded by an isolation structure which extends under the NMOS transistor.
