A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a deep well, a doped region, a gate, and source and drain regions. The deep well is of a first conductivity type in the substrate. The doped region is in the deep well with an impurity of a second conductivity type. The field oxide is over the deep well and has a side interfaced with the doped region.

A semiconductor device includes substrate, a first gate structure, a second gate structure, and an epitaxy layer. The first gate structure and the second gate structure are over the substrate, in which the first gate structure and the second gate structure each comprises a shielding electrode, a gate electrode over the shielding electrode, and a first gate dielectric layer vertically separating the shielding electrode from the gate electrode. The epitaxy layer is over the substrate and cups an underside of the first gate structure and the second gate structure, in which the epitaxy layer comprises a doped region laterally between the first gate dielectric layer of the first gate structure and the first gate dielectric layer of the second gate structure, a dopant concentration of the doped region being non-uniform along a lateral direction.

A method includes forming a dielectric layer on a substrate; forming a first spiral electrode, a second spiral electrode, and a spiral common electrode in the dielectric layer, the first spiral electrode extending in a first spiral path, the second spiral electrode extending in a second spiral path, and the spiral common electrode extending in a third spiral path laterally between the first and second spiral paths.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a deep n-well, a field oxide, a gate structure, a p-type doped region, a source region, and a drain region. The deep n-well is in the semiconductor substrate. The field oxide is partially embedded in the deep n-well and having a tip corner in a position substantially level with a top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The gate structure is on the field oxide and laterally extends past the tip corner of the field oxide. The p-type doped region is in the deep n-well and is interfaced with the tip corner of the field oxide.

Semiconductor structure and method of forming the same

A method includes forming a first-type deep well with a first impurity of a first conductivity type in a semiconductor substrate; doping a second impurity of a second conductivity type into the first-type deep well to form a second-type doped region, in which a concentration of the first impurity in the first-type deep well is greater than a concentration of the second impurity in the second-type doped region and less than about ten times the concentration of the second impurity in the second-type doped region; forming a field oxide partially embedded in the semiconductor substrate, the field oxide laterally extending from a first side of the second-type doped region; forming a second-type well of the second conductivity type in the first-type deep well and on a second side of the second-type doped region opposite the first side of the second-type doped region.

A method includes forming a hard mask over an epitaxy layer of a substrate; forming a patterned mask over the hard mask; etching the hard mask and the epitaxy layer to form a trench in the epitaxy layer, in which a remaining portion of the hard mask covers a topmost surface of the epitaxy layer, and the trench exposes a sidewall of the epitaxy layer; forming a P-well region by directing p-type ion beams into the trench along an oblique direction that is non-parallel to a normal line of the topmost surface of the epitaxy layer, in which the topmost surface of the epitaxy layer is protected from the p-type ion beams by the remaining portion of the hard mask during directing the p-type ion beams into the trench; and after directing the p-type ion beams into the trench, forming a gate structure in the trench.
