Low Noise Vertical Variable Gate Control Voltage JFET Device in a BiCMOS Process and Methods to Build this Device

摘要

We disclose the structure of a JFET device, the method of making the device and the operation of the device. The device is built near the top of a substrate. It has a buried layer that is electrically communicable to a drain terminal. It has a channel region over the buried layer contacting gate regions that connect to a gate terminal. The channel region, of which the length spans the distance between the buried layer and a source region, is connected to a source terminal. The device current flows in the channel substantially perpendicularly to the top surface of the substrate.
