MOSFET device including a source with alternating P-type and N-type regions

摘要

Apparatus and methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor devices with reduced bipolar effects. One apparatus includes a semiconductor body (120) including a surface and a transistor source (300) located in the semiconductor body proximate the surface, and the transistor source includes an area (310) of alternating conductivity regions (3110, 3120). Another apparatus includes a semiconductor body (120) including a first conductivity and a transistor source (500) located in the semiconductor body. The transistor source includes multiple regions (5120) including a second conductivity, wherein the regions and the semiconductor body form an area (510) of alternating regions of the first and second conductivities. One method includes implanting a semiconductor well (120) including a first conductivity in a substrate (110) and implanting a plurality of doped regions (5120) comprising a second conductivity in the semiconductor well. An area (510) comprising regions of alternating conductivities is then formed in the semiconductor well.
