After forming an epitaxial semiconductor layer on portions of a semiconductor located on opposite sides of a sacrificial gate structure, dopants from the epitaxial semiconductor layer are diffused into the semiconductor fin to form a dopant-containing semiconductor fin. A sacrificial gate stack is removed to provide a gate cavity that exposes a portion of the dopant-containing semiconductor fin. The exposed portion of the dopant-containing semiconductor fin is removed to provide an opening underneath the gate cavity. A channel which is undoped or less doped than remaining portions of the dopant-containing semiconductor fin is epitaxially grown at least from the sidewalls of the remaining portions of the dopant-containing semiconductor fin. Abrupt junctions are thus formed between the channel region and the remaining portions of the dopant-containing semiconductor fin.

The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a first gate insulating film on a substrate for a first device, forming a first gate electrode on the first gate insulating film; forming a mask pattern on the first gate electrode to expose opposing end portions of the first gate electrode, wherein a length of the mask pattern is smaller than a length of the first gate electrode; performing ion implantation through the exposed opposing end portions of the first gate electrode using the mask pattern to simultaneously form first and second drift regions in the substrate; forming spacers on sidewalls of the first gate electrode, respectively; and forming a first source region and a first drain region in the first and second drift regions, respectively.

A FinFET transistor includes a fin of semiconductor material with a transistor gate electrode extending over a channel region. Raised source and drain regions of first epitaxial growth material extending from the fin on either side of the transistor gate electrode. Source and drain contact openings extend through a pre-metallization dielectric material to reach the raised source and drain regions. Source and drain contact regions of second epitaxial growth material extend from the first epitaxial growth material at the bottom of the source and drain contact openings. A metal material fills the source and drain contact openings to form source and drain contacts, respectively, with the source and drain contact regions. The drain contact region may be offset from the transistor gate electrode by an offset distance sufficient to provide a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) configuration within the raised source region of first epitaxial growth material.

Trenches and n.sup.+ high impurity concentration regions are formed in a first principal surface side of a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate. In the n.sup.+ high impurity concentration regions, third n-type regions that respectively surround first p.sup.+ base regions contacting a p-type base layer and have a higher impurity concentration than the n.sup.+ high impurity concentration regions, as well as fourth n-type regions that respectively surround second p.sup.+ base regions formed at the bottoms of the trenches and also have a higher impurity concentration than the n.sup.+ high impurity concentration regions, are formed.

An n.sup. drift layer is a parallel pn layer having an n-type region and a p-type region are alternately arranged in the direction parallel to the main surface so as to come into contact with each other, and have a width in a direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate which is less than a length in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the substrate. A second-main-surface-side lower end portion of the p-type region has a structure in which a high-concentration lower end portion and a low-concentration lower end portion of a p-type low-concentration region are repeated at a predetermined pitch in the direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate. It is possible to provide a super junction MOS semiconductor device which can improve a trade-off relationship between turn-off loss and turn-off dv/dt and improve avalanche resistance.

According to one embodiment, the fifth semiconductor region contacts the first semiconductor region. The metal region is provided on the fifth semiconductor region. The first insulating film extends in a thickness direction of the semiconductor layer. The first insulating film is adjacent to the fourth semiconductor region, the third semiconductor region, the second semiconductor region, and the first semiconductor region. The second insulating film extends in the thickness direction of the semiconductor layer. The second insulating film is provided between the fourth semiconductor region and the first conductive unit, between the third semiconductor region and the first conductive unit, and between the second semiconductor region and the first conductive unit.

A layout structure, a semiconductor device and an electronic apparatus are provided. The layout structure includes at least one LDMOS. The LDMOS includes a source, a drain and a gate. The drain is strip-shaped, the source and gate are cyclic structures, the inner circumference of the source is less than the outer circumference of the gate but is greater than the inner circumference of the gate, the inner ring of the source overlaps with the gate in all directions, and the drain is located inside the inner ring of the gate. Because the source and gate are configured as cyclic structures and the inner ring of the source overlaps with the gate in every direction, the layout structure can increase the current and reduce the area of LDMOS devices. Semiconductor devices manufactured based on the layout structure and electronic apparatuses including the semiconductor devices also have the above-described advantages.

A gate-all around fin double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (DMOS) devices and methods of manufacture are disclosed. The method includes forming a plurality of fin structures from a substrate. The method further includes forming a well of a first conductivity type and a second conductivity type within the substrate and corresponding fin structures of the plurality of fin structures. The method further includes forming a source contact on an exposed portion of a first fin structure. The method further comprises forming drain contacts on exposed portions of adjacent fin structures to the first fin structure. The method further includes forming a gate structure in a dielectric fill material about the first fin structure and extending over the well of the first conductivity type.

A MOS transistor structure for matched operation in weak-inversion or sub-threshold range (e.g. input-pair of operational amplifier, comparator, and/or current-mirror) is disclosed. The transistor structure may include a well region of any impurity type in a substrate (SOI is included). The well-region can even be represented by the substrate itself. At least one transistor is located in the well region, whereby the active channel-region of the transistor is independent from lateral isolation interfaces between GOX (gate oxide) and FOX (field oxide; including STI-shallow trench isolation).

A high-side device includes: a substrate, an epitaxial layer, a high voltage well, a body region, a gate, a source, a drain, and a buried region. A channel junction is formed between the body region and the high voltage well. The buried region is formed in the substrate and the epitaxial layer, and in a vertical direction, a part of the buried region is located in the substrate and another part of the buried region is located in the epitaxial layer. In the channel direction, an inner side boundary of the buried region is between the drain and the channel junction. An impurity concentration of a second conductive type of the buried region is sufficient to prevent the high voltage well between the channel junction and the drain from being completely depleted when the high-side power device operates in a conductive operation. A corresponding manufacturing method is also disclosed.
