Abstract
Abstract A monolithic semiconductor device comprises a VDMOS transistor having first and second main electrodes and a control electrode, and a lateral MOSFET having first and second main electrodes and a control electrode, wherein one of the first and second electrodes of the lateral MOSFET has a lower doping concentration than that of the first and second main electrodes of the VDMOS transistor for forming a Schottky barrier diode.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A monolithic semiconductor device comprising: a substrate of a first conductivity type material, an upper region of said substrate having a lower impurity doping concentration than a lower portion thereof; a first region of a second conductivity type material formed in said upper region of said substrate; a second region of said first conductivity type material formed in said first region of said second conductivity type so as to leave an annular ring of said second conductivity material around said second region; a third region of said second conductivity type material formed in said upper region of said substrate; a fourth region of said first conductivity type material having a lower doping concentration than said second region, formed in said third region of said second conductivity type; a fifth region of said first conductivity type material formed in said third region of said second conductivity type so as to leave an annular ring of second conductivity type material around said fourth region; a layer of gate oxide overlying at least a portion of each of said annular rings; metallic conductor means contacting at least a portion of said fourth region for forming a Schottky barrier diode therewith; and a gate electrode overlying at least a portion of said gate oxide.
