Semiconductor device
View Patent ↗Provided is a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor, in which trenches ( 3 ) are formed in a charge accumulation region ( 6 ) of a p-type silicon substrate ( 1 ) to reduce a contact area between the p-type silicon substrate ( 1 ) and a lightly doped n-type well region ( 2 ), thereby reducing a leak current from the lightly doped n-type well region ( 2 ) to the p-type silicon substrate ( 1 ).
1. A semiconductor device having a metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor, the semiconductor device comprising:
a silicon substrate of a first conductivity type;
a lightly doped well region of a second conductivity type disposed by diffusing impurities into the silicon substrate;
a charge accumulation region disposed in the lightly doped well region of the second conductivity type;
a plurality of trenches disposed in the charge accumulation region;
a heavily doped region of the second conductivity type disposed outside the charge accumulation region, and having a higher impurity concentration than an impurity concentration of the lightly doped well region of the second conductivity type;
an oxide film disposed in the plurality of trenches disposed in the charge accumulation region, and on a surface of the silicon substrate of the first conductivity type;
a polysilicon electrode disposed on the oxide film; and
a substrate-side electrode disposed to make contact with the heavily doped region of the second conductivity type.
