ABSTRACT:
A method used to form a field effect device and a bipolar device in different regions of the same semiconductor material, such method including the step of forming a doped layer in the semiconductor material which extends from the surface of the semiconductor material to a predetermined depth in such semiconductor material and which extends laterally along the surface of the semiconductor material through the different regions wherein the field effect device and the bipolar device are formed. Such formed doped layer has the same type conductivity as that of the semiconductor material but has a doping concentration at least an order of magnitude greater than that of the semiconductor material. The doping concentration of the doped layer is sufficiently high to prevent undesired surface state inversion effects and enable effective control of the channel width of the field effect device. On the other hand, the doping concentration of the doped layer is sufficiently low to provide proper breakdown voltages for both the bipolar device and the field effect device. In this way, since the same doping concentration is used for both the bipolar device region and the field effect device region, the doped layer may be formed in the entire surface region of the semiconductor material without the requirement of additional masking steps. Further, with a buried channel field effect device the portion of the doped layer in the field effect device region provides the upper comparatively higher doped gate portion of the device while the portion of the semiconductor material below the buried channel region provides the lower gate portion of the device, such upper and lower gate portions being coupled to a gate electrode to enable control of the effective channel width from both upper and lower sides thereof.
