ABSTRACT:
The size of BVDSSdistribution is controlled by the active manipulation of the distribution of silicon parameters across a wafer to offset opposing effects inherent in the wafer fabrication process. Thus, the resistivity of the silicon wafer is increased toward the edge of the wafer. This offsets the drop-off of BVDSSacross the wafer caused in wafer fabrication by deeper trenches at the edge of the wafer. This causes a flatter BVDSSprofile across the wafer and significantly reduced BV distribution over the wafer.
