A semiconductor device includes a floating buried doped region, a first doped region disposed between the floating buried doped region and a first major surface, and a semiconductor region disposed between the floating buried doped region and a second major surface. Trench isolation portions extend from the first major surface and terminate within the semiconductor region to define an active region. An insulated trench structure is laterally disposed between the trench isolation portions, terminates within the floating buried doped region, and defines a first portion and a second portion of the active region. A biasing semiconductor device is within the first portion, and a functional semiconductor device is within the second portion. The biasing semiconductor device is adapted to set a potential of the floating buried doped region and adapted to divert parasitic currents away from the functional semiconductor device.

Semiconductor device having biasing structure for self-isolating buried layer and method therefor

An energy storage device such as a metal-insulator-metal capacitor and a method for manufacturing the energy storage device. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes an insulating material positioned between a bottom electrode or bottom plate and a top electrode or top plate. The surface area of the bottom electrode is greater than the surface area of the insulating material and the surface area of the insulating material is greater than the surface area of the top electrode. The top electrode and the insulating layer have edges that are laterally within and spaced apart from edges of the bottom electrode. A protective layer covers the top electrode, the edges of the top electrode, and the portions of the insulating layer that are uncovered by the top electrode. The protective layer serves as an etch mask during the formation of the bottom electrode.
