20080299725	METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES - A method of manufacturing semiconductor devices comprises forming an semiconductor layer of the first conduction type on a substrate of the first conduction type; forming an anti-oxidizing layer on the surface of the semiconductor layer of the first conduction type, the anti-oxidizing layer having an aperture only through a region for use in formation of a guard ring layer of the second conduction type; forming the guard ring layer of the second conduction type in the surface of the semiconductor layer of the first conduction type through implantation of ions into a surface where said anti-oxidizing layer is formed; forming an oxide layer at least in the aperture; forming a base layer of the second conduction type adjacent to the guard ring layer of the second conduction type in the surface of the semiconductor layer of the first conduction type; and forming a diffused layer of the first conduction type through implantation of ions into the base layer of the second conduction type.	12-04-2008
20100096696	SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR FOR USE AS A HIGH-SPEED SWITCHING DEVICE AND A POWER DEVICE - A body layer of a first conductivity type is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a source layer of a second conductivity type is formed in a surface region of the body layer. An offset layer of the second conductivity type is formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a drain layer of the second conductivity type is formed in a surface region of the offset layer. An insulating film is embedded in a trench formed in the surface region of the offset layer between the source layer and the drain layer. A gate insulating film is formed on the body layer and the offset layer between the source layer and the insulating film. A gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film. A first peak of an impurity concentration profile in the offset layer is formed at a position deeper than the insulating film.	04-22-2010
20100159659	SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE USED AS HIGH-SPEED SWITCHING DEVICE AND POWER DEVICE - A low resistance layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a high resistance layer formed on the low resistance layer. A source region of a first conductivity type is formed on a surface region of the high resistance layer. A drain region of the first conductivity type is formed at a distance from the source region. A first resurf region of the first conductivity type is formed in a surface region of the high resistance layer between the source region and the drain region. A channel region of a second conductivity type is formed between the source region and the first resurf region. A gate insulating film is formed on the channel region, and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film. An impurity concentration in the channel region under the gate electrode gradually lowers from the source region toward the first resurf region.	06-24-2010
