MIS SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

By the use of high-resistivity polycrystalline silicon (poly) in MIS elements, a depletion layer can be formed in the poly material which brings about an electric decoupling between the poly (gate) and the underlying semiconductor body. This effect can be utilized advantageously in various circuit elements, such as in CCD's, in order to obtain a favorable potential distribution in the substrate; in MOS transistors in order to reduce the parasitic capacities; and in high-voltage devices in order to increase the breakdown voltage at the edge of the field plate (resurf).
