A trench is formed in the substrate in the vertical trench gate MOSFET region, a first gate oxide film is formed along the internal wall of the trench, and the trench is filled with a polysilicon film. A LOCOS oxide film is formed in a region isolating the devices. A second gate oxide film is formed on the substrate in the lateral planar gate MOSFET region. Advantages are that number of steps is suppressed, the gate threshold voltage of an output stage MOSFET is higher than the gate threshold voltage of a control MOSFET, the thickness of the LOCOS oxide film does not decrease, and no foreign object residue remains inside the trench. | 03-13-2014 |

20140306750 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A low cost, small scale semiconductor device including a trimming circuit having a fuse resistor is disclosed. By a trimming circuit being configured of a MOSFET, a protection circuit, and a fuse resistor, it is possible to carry out a change from an open circuit state to a short circuit state by fusing the fuse resistor. Also, by the protection circuit and fuse resistor configuring the trimming circuit being formed in a two layer structure, it is possible to reduce the size of the trimming circuit, and thus it is possible to provide a low cost, small scale semiconductor device having a trimming circuit that occupies a small area. | 10-16-2014 |
20140370674 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A vertical super junction MOSFET and a lateral MOSFET are integrated on the same semiconductor substrate. The lateral MOSFET is electrically isolated from the vertical super junction MOSFET by an n-buried isolating layer and an n-diffused isolating layer. The lateral MOSFET is formed of a p-well region formed in an n | 12-18-2014 |
