Integrated transistor structure having a power transistor and a bipolar transistor
An integrated transistor structure includes an epitaxial layer on a semiconductor substrate, a power transistor formed in a first region of the epitaxial layer and having a drain region, a source region and a body region shorted to the source region, a bipolar transistor formed in a second region of the epitaxial layer spaced apart from the power transistor. A first trench structure formed in the epitaxial layer adjacent at least two opposing lateral sides of the power transistor includes a gate electrode spaced apart from a channel region of the power transistor by an insulating material. A second trench structure formed in the epitaxial layer adjacent at least two opposing lateral sides of the bipolar transistor includes a trench electrode spaced apart from the epitaxial layer by an insulating material. The gate electrode, base and emitter of the bipolar transistor are connected to different contacts isolated from one another.
ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS INCLUDING DIODE-CONNECTED BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTORS
A diode-connected bipolar junction transistor includes a common collector region of a first conductivity, a common base region of a second conductivity disposed over the common collector region, and a plurality of emitter regions of the first conductivity disposed over the common base region, arranged to be spaced apart from each other, and arranged to have island shapes. The common base region and the common collector region are electrically coupled to each other.
BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR WITH DIELECTRIC ISOLATION STRUCTURES
Embodiments provide bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) which are formed from GAA or FinFET transistors and methods of forming the BJTs. The BJTs include dielectric isolation structures formed between gates of the GAA or FinFET transistors. The dielectric isolation structures reduce spacing between transistors of neighboring terminals of the BJTs. The dielectric isolation structures allow the BJTs to use the nominal gate spacing (Lg) as logic device, thereby, compatible with the GAA or FinFET processes.
Memory device having electrically floating body transistor
A semiconductor memory cell includes a floating body region configured to be charged to a level indicative of a state of the memory cell selected from at least first and second states. A first region of the memory cell is in electrical contact with the floating body region. A second region of the memory cell is spaced apart from the first region and is also in electrical contact with the floating body region. A gate is positioned between the first and second regions. A back-bias region is configured to generate impact ionization when the memory cell is in one of the first and second states, and the back-bias region is configured so as not to generate impact ionization when the memory cell is in the other of the first and second states.
DIODE STRUCTURES OF STACKED TRANSISTORS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A three-dimensional transistor includes a first transistor structure including a first lower source/drain (S/D) region and a first upper S/D region contacting the first lower S/D region at a first junction region, where the first upper S/D region has a first conductivity type, and where the first lower S/D region has a second conductivity type that is opposite to the first conductivity type. The three-dimensional transistor includes a second transistor structure including a second lower S/D region and a second upper S/D region contacting the second lower S/D region at a second junction region, where the second upper S/D region has the first conductivity type, and where the second lower S/D region has the second conductivity type. The three-dimensional transistor includes a first collector/emitter contact electrically connecting the first upper S/D region and the second upper S/D region.
