Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device comprising a p-type base region, and a p-type region formed over the p-type base region and in contact with the p-type base region is disclosed. The device also includes an n-well region surrounded by the p-type region, wherein the n-well is formed from an n-type epitaxial layer and the p-type region is formed by counter-doping the same n-type epitaxial layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating a device comprising: providing a substrate without doped regions which serve as buried doped regions, wherein the substrate comprises a planar top surface; forming a doped epitaxial layer over and contacts the planar top surface of the substrate, wherein the doped epitaxial layer includes first polarity type dopants and a planar top epitaxial surface, the doped epitaxial layer includes a device region which corresponds to a d…
