A semiconductor device comprising a substrate means, a semiconductor layer of an N conductivity type formed on the substrate means, a first semiconductor region of a P conductivity type formed in the semiconductor layer and having its exposed major surface, a second semiconductor region of the N conductivity type formed in the first semiconductor region and having its exposed major surface, a first insulation layer means having a positive polarity type of charge and formed on the N semiconductor layer, and a second insulation layer means having a negative polarity type of charge and formed on the P semiconductor region.

Semiconductor device with multi-layered structure

A process for producing a semiconductor device by which the minority carrier lifetime can be selectively changed in a semiconductor device. A radiation beam is irradiated onto the surface of a semiconductor substrate to shorten the minority carrier lifetime. Then ions are selectively implanted into a region in which the minority carrier lifetime is to be recovered. Finally, the resultant structure is annealed.

Method of making integrated devices having long and short minority

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor body of one conductivity type, at least one semiconductor region of the opposite conductivity type formed in the semiconductor body and having a surface flush with the surface of the semiconductor body, an insulative or semi-insulative film formed on the semiconductor body or semiconductor region through a passivation layer and having a fixed charge, positive or negative, and an electrode metal layer connected to at least one of the semiconductor body and region and formed locally on the film directly or through a passivation layer. The semiconductor body or region is of N conductivity type when the film has a positive fixed charge and of P conductivity type when the film has a negative fixed charge.

Semiconductor device with selective nitride layer over channel stop

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, which comprises the steps of forming a first high impurity concentration region of a conductivity type opposite to the conductivity type of a semiconductor substrate in the substrate along the principal surface thereof, depositing a first epitaxial layer of the same conductivity type as the substrate on the entire principal surface thereof, forming a low impurity concentration region of the opposite conductivity type to the substrate in the first epitaxial layer along a surface portion thereof corresponding to the first high impurity concentration region, forming a second high impurity concentration region of the opposite conductivity type to the substrate in the first epitaxial layer along a different surface portion thereof, forming a second epitaxial layer of the opposite conductivity type to the substrate on the first epitaxial layer, thermally treating the resultant intermediate device to cause diffusion of the impurities in the first and second high impurity concentration region into the respective first and second epitaxial layers and also causing diffusion of the impurity in the low impurity concentration region into the entire portion of the first epitaxial layer corresponding to the first high impurity concentration region, and forming an element isolation region of the same conductivity type as the substrate in the second epitaxial layer such that the element isolation region reaches the first epitaxial layer.
