A vertical trench electrode type EST has been proposed in this paper. The proposed device considerably improve the snap-back effect which leads to a lot of problem of device applications. In this paper, the vertical dual gate Emitter Switched Thyristor(EST) with trench electrode has been proposed for improving snap-back effect. It is observed that the forward blocking voltage of the proposed device is 800V. The conventional EST of the same size were no more than 633V. Because the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrode, the electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and the punch through breakdown of the proposed EST is occurred at latest.

소자가 sub-quarter um급으로 축소됨에 따라 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) 기술은 고 집적도의 ULSI 구현에 있어서 중요한 격리 방법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 현재의 STI 기술은 주로 실리콘 기판을 식각 후 절연물질로 빈 공백이 없이 채우는 (void-free gap filling) 방법 [1,2]과 절연물질을 다시 표면 근처까지 CMP(Chemical Mechnical Polishing)로 etchback하여 평탄화를 하는 방법이 주요한 기술이 되고 있다. 또한 STI 구조로된 격리구조에서 만들어진 MOSFET의 전기적인 특성은 트랜치 격리의 상부 부분의 형태와 gap-filling 물질에 따라 큰 영향을 받게된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 STI 구조로 만들어진 격리 구조에서 MOSFET의 hump 특성에 관해 연구하였다. 그 결과 hump는 STI 모서리에서 필드 옥사이드의 recess에 의한 모서리 부분에서의 전계 집중과 boron의 segration에 기인한 농도 감소로 인해 hump가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the optimized design, fabrication and thermal characteristics of micro-heaters for thermal MEMS (micro elelctro mechanical system) applications usign SOI (Si-on-insulator) and trench structures. The micro-heater is based on a thermal measurement principle and contains for thermal isolation regions a 10㎛ thick Si membrane with oxide-filled trenches in the SOI membrane rim. The micro-heater was fabricated with Pt-RTD (resistance thermometer device) on the same substrate by suing MgO as medium layer. The thermal characteristics of the micro-heater wit the SOI membrane is 280$\^{C}$ at input power 0.9W; for the SOI membrane with 10 trenches, it is 580$\^{C}$ due to reduction of the external thermal loss. Therefore, the micro-heater with trenches in SOI membrane rim provides a powerful and versatile alternative technology for improving the performance of micro-thermal sensors and actuators.

In this study, a new simplified technology for fabricating high density trench gate DMOSFETs using only three mask layers and TEOS/nitride spacer is proposed. Due to the reduced masking steps and self-aligned process, this technique can afford to fabricate DMOSFETs with high cell density up to 100 Mcell/inch$^2$ and cost-effective production. The resulting unit cell pitch was 2.3∼2.4${\mu}$m. The fabricated device exhibited a excellent specific on-resistance characteristic of 0.36m$\Omega$. cm$^2$ with a breakdown voltage of 42V. Moreover, time to breakdown of gate oxide was remarkably increased by the hydrogen annealing after trench etching.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the SOI(Si-on-insulator) membrane and trench structures, in which MGO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$ layer. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 250 nV at N$_2$ flow rate of 2000 sccm/min, heating power of 0.3 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 42 msec when input flow was step-input. The results indicated that micro-flowsensors with the SOI membrane and trench structures have properties of a high-resolution and ow consume power.

In this paper, the new dual trench gate Emitter Switched Thyristor (DTG-EST) is proposed for improving snap-back effect which leads to a lot of serious problems of device applications. And the parasitic thyristor that is inherent in the conventional EST is completely eliminated in this structure, allowing higher maximum controllable current densities for ESTs. The conventional EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 2.73V and $35A/cm^2$, respectively. But the proposed DTG-EST exhibits snap-back with the anode voltage and current density 0.96V and $100A/cm^2$, respectively.

A trench shorted anode LIGBT (TSA-LIGBT) which decreases the device area and the forward voltage drop has been proposed and verified by 2D device simulations. The trench located in the shorted anode would form the shorted anode. The simulation results show that TSA-LIGBT decrease the device area by about 20% and the forward voltage drop by over 75% compared with the conventional ones. Also the troublesome negative differential resistance (NDR) regime has been eliminated successfully in the TSA-LIGBT.

Present transistors which have vertical structure show increased parasitic capacitance characteristics in accordance with the increase of non-active base area and collector area, consequently have disadvantage for high speed switching performance. In this paper, a horizontal structure transistor which has minimized parasitic capacitance in virtue of SDB(Silicon Direct Bonding) wafer and oxide sidewall isolation utilizing silicon trench technology is presented. Its structural characteristics were designed by ATHENA(SUPREM4), the process simulator from SILVACO International, and its performance was proven by ATLAS, the device simulator from SILVACO International. The performance of the proposed horizontal structure transistor was certified through the VCE-lC characteristics curve, $h_{FE}$ -IC characteristics, and GP-plot.

A new small scaling Lateral Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (SSLTIGBT) was proposed to improve the characteristics of the device. The entire electrode of the LTIGBT was replaced with a trench-type electrode. The LTIGBT was designed so that the width of device was no more than 10$\mu\textrm{m}$. The latch-up current densities were improved by 4.5 and 7.6 times, respectively, compared to those of the same sifted conventional LTIGBT and the conventional LTIGBT which has the width of 17$\mu\textrm{m}$. The enhanced latch-up capability of the SSLTIGBT was obtained due to the fact that the hole current in the device reaches the cathode via the p+ cathode layer underneath the n+ cathode layer, directly. The forward blocking voltage of the SSLTIGBT was 125 V. At the same size, those of the conventional LTIGBT and the conventional LTIGBT with the width of 17$\mu\textrm{m}$ were 65 V and 105 V, respectively. Because the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrodes, the electric field in the device were crowded to trench oxide. Thus, the punch through breakdown of LTEIGBT occurred late.
