[0002] The known super-junction structure high-voltage MOSFET device based on PN junction charge balance has become a factually industrial standard MOSFET high-voltage power device with a withstand voltage of 350 V or above. The super-junction device based on the PN junction charge balance is quite sensitive to the PN junction charge balance. In view of the process control difficulty caused by the charge sensitivity, a second generation of new structures similar to the PN junction super-junction function have been proposed at home and abroad, one of which is to replace the P-type or N-type region in the first type of PN junction structure with a thin layer of ordinary commonly used dielectric constant medium material and semi-insulating material along the interface of the replaced P-type or N-type region, so as to realize the structure of the resistance field plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0075] The inventor found that in the high-voltage MOSFET device based on the second generation of resistance field plate type super junction, the optimization of the contradictory relationship between the breakdown voltage and the on-resistance of the device has been trapped in a bottleneck, and it becomes more and more difficult to further reduce the on-resistance while keeping the breakdown voltage unchanged; the integrated design density of the corresponding device is low, which is not conducive to the structure miniaturization design and the further improvement of the on-state performance of the device.
[0076] Based on this, the application provides a technical scheme of a resistance field plate asymmetric gate field effect device: two asymmetric deep groove type resistance field plate structures are arranged in a minimum repeatable unit of a MOSFET device, a top end of one resistance field plate structure is provided with a MOSFET structure and is connected with a source electrode of the MOSFET structure, and a top end of the other resistance field plate structure leads out a control electrode; when the source electrode of the MOSFET structure is connected with the control electrode in the same potential, through the asymmetry and structure difference of the two resistance field plate structures, the impurity concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET is more suitable to be improved, so as to reduce the on-resistance of the drift region while maintaining the withstand voltage, and the repulsion and extrusion on the adjacent other minimum repeatable units can be reduced, so as to facilitate the structure miniaturization design and high density design; when the gate electrode of the MOSFET structure is connected with the control electrode in the same potential, the carrier concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET structure can be adjusted and improved through the resistance field plate structure, and the on-resistance of the drift region can be further reduced.

[0080] Embodiment one
[0081] As shown in Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application provides a resistance field plate asymmetric gate field effect device, which comprises:

[0085] MOSFET structure 4, arranged in the epitaxial layer 2 and located on the first resistance field plate structure 3, and the source electrode 45 of which is electrically connected with the top of the first resistance field plate structure 3;
[0086] second resistance field plate structure 5, arranged in the second deep trench, and the bottom of which is electrically connected with the highly doped substrate 1, and the top of which is electrically connected with the control electrode 6;
[0087] wherein, during the operation of the resistance field plate asymmetric gate field effect device, the potential of the control electrode 6 is the same as that of one of the source electrode 45 of the MOSFET structure or the gate electrode 46 of the MOSFET structure.
[0088] In detail, as shown in Figure 1 , in the embodiment of the present application, the MOSFET structure 4 comprises:
[0089] channel diffusion region 41, arranged in the epitaxial layer 2, and having an impurity conductivity type opposite to that of the epitaxial layer 2;
[0090] source diffusion region 42, arranged in the epitaxial layer 2 and located on the channel diffusion region 41, and having an impurity conductivity type same as that of the epitaxial layer 2;
[0091] gate dielectric layer 43, arranged on the epitaxial layer 2;
[0092] a polysilicon gate 44 disposed on the gate dielectric layer 43 and laterally covering at least the non-overlapping regions of the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42;
[0093] a source electrode 45 vertically penetrating the gate dielectric layer 43 and electrically connected to the top of the channel diffusion region 41, the source diffusion region 42 and the first resistive field plate structure 3, and the source electrode 45 is electrically connected to the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 at the top sidewall of the first deep trench;
[0094] a gate electrode 46 electrically connected to the polysilicon gate 44;
[0095] a drain electrode electrically led out from the high-doped substrate 1 away from the epitaxial layer 2.
[0096] In more detail, as shown in Figure 1 the first resistive field plate structure 3 includes an oxide layer 31 located at the sidewall of the first deep trench and a semi-insulating polysilicon structure 32 filled in the first deep trench; the first resistive field plate structure 3 does not fill the first deep trench, the bottom of the semi-insulating polysilicon structure 32 (or the first resistive field plate structure 3) is electrically connected (ohmic contact) to the high-doped substrate 1, and the top of the semi-insulating polysilicon structure 32 (or the first resistive field plate structure 3) is located within the range from the bottom of the channel diffusion region 41 to the bottom of the source diffusion region 42.
[0097] In more detail, as shown in Figure 1 the second resistive field plate structure 5 includes an oxide layer 51 located at the sidewall of the second deep trench and a semi-insulating polysilicon structure 52 filled in the second deep trench, and the top of the semi-insulating polysilicon structure 52 is electrically led out as the control electrode 6.
[0098] In which, as shown in Figure 1 the distance from the bottom of the channel diffusion region 41 to the bottom of the source diffusion region 42 is h1, the distance from the top of the semi-insulating polysilicon structure 32 to the bottom of the source diffusion region 42 is h2, which must be greater than zero, the distance from the top of the oxide layer 31 at the sidewall of the first deep trench to the bottom of the channel diffusion region 41 is h3, which must also be greater than zero, and the sum of h2 and h3 must be less than h1, so as to ensure that the source electrode 45 can be reliably electrically connected to the channel diffusion region 41 without being in electrical contact with the epitaxial layer 2 to cause leakage or damage the normal function of the MOSFET structure 4; the first resistive field plate structure 3 and the second resistive field plate structure 5 are deeply inserted into the high-doped substrate 1, and the depth of the insertion into the high-doped substrate 1 is h4, which is determined by target parameters and process conditions and is not limited herein.
[0099] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 2-16 the present application also provides a preparation method of the resistive field plate asymmetric gate field effect device, which includes the following steps:
[0100] S1, asFigure 3 As shown, a highly doped substrate 1 is provided, and an epitaxial layer 2 is formed on the highly doped substrate 1;
[0101] S2, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, a gate dielectric layer 43 is formed on the epitaxial layer 2, and a polysilicon gate 44 is formed on the gate dielectric layer 43;
[0102] S3, such as Figures 6-7 As shown, based on the polysilicon gate 44, a channel diffusion region 41 and a source diffusion region 42 are formed in a local area at the top of the epitaxial layer 2 using self-aligned implantation technology and double diffusion technology, and the source diffusion region 42 is located at the top of the channel diffusion region 41 in the vertical direction.
[0103] S4, such as Figure 9 As shown, a first deep trench T1 and a second deep trench T2 are formed. The first deep trench T1 passes vertically through the source diffusion region 42, the channel diffusion region 41 and the epitaxial layer 2 to the highly doped substrate 1. The second deep trench T2 passes vertically through the epitaxial layer 2 to the highly doped substrate 1.
[0104] S5, such as Figures 10-13 As shown, a first resistive field plate structure 3 is formed in the first deep trench T1, and a second resistive field plate structure 5 is formed in the second deep trench T2. The first resistive field plate structure 3 does not fill the first deep trench T1, and the top of the first resistive field plate structure 3 is located in the range from the bottom of the channel diffusion region 41 to the bottom of the source diffusion region 42 in the vertical direction.
[0105] S6, such as Figures 14-16 As shown, a source electrode 45, a gate electrode 46, and a control electrode 6 are formed. The source electrode 45 passes vertically through the gate dielectric layer 43 and is electrically connected to the top of the channel diffusion region 41, the source diffusion region 42, and the first resistive field plate structure 3. The source electrode 45 is electrically connected to the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 at the top sidewall of the first deep trench T1. The gate electrode 46 is electrically connected to the polysilicon gate 44. The control electrode 6 is electrically connected to the top of the second resistive field plate structure 5.
[0106] In detail, such as Figure 3 As shown, in step S1, a highly doped substrate 1 is provided mainly as the drain region of the MOSFET device, which is an N-type doped semiconductor material (such as silicon, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, etc.); an epitaxial layer 2 is formed on the substrate 1 as the drift region and part of the drain region of the MOSFET device, and the epitaxial layer 2 is also an N-type doped semiconductor material.
[0107] More specifically, the highly doped substrate 1 is heavily doped, and the epitaxial layer 2 is lightly doped, meaning the impurity concentration in the highly doped substrate 1 is higher than the medium impurity concentration in the epitaxial layer 2. It is understandable that the conductivity types of the impurities in the epitaxial layer 2 and the highly doped substrate 1 could be opposite, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0108] The thickness of the epitaxial layer 2 can be flexibly designed as appropriate, such as 20 μm for a breakdown voltage of 300 V.
[0109] In detail, between the step S1 and the step S2, the method for manufacturing the resistive field plate asymmetric gate field effect device further comprises a step of forming a photoetching alignment mark on the epitaxial layer 2 by using a common method in the industry, so as to facilitate alignment in subsequent process steps.
[0110] In detail, as shown in Figures 4-5 the step S2 further comprises:
[0111] S21, as shown in Figure 4 , a top portion of the epitaxial layer 2 is oxidized by using a common process to form a gate dielectric layer 43, such as performing a chlorine-doped dry oxidation process at 1050°C for 110 minutes to obtain a gate dielectric layer 43 with a thickness of about 80 nm-120 nm;
[0112] S22, as shown in Figure 5 , a layer of polycrystalline silicon material with a thickness of 450 nm±100 nm is formed on the gate dielectric layer 43 by using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition process (LPCVD), and the polycrystalline silicon material layer is doped by using a common in-situ doping, ion implantation, diffusion, etc. Then, the doped polycrystalline silicon material layer is photoetched and etched to form a polycrystalline silicon gate 44.
[0113] In detail, as shown in Figures 6-7 , the step S3 of forming the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 in the local area of the top portion of the epitaxial layer 2 according to the polycrystalline silicon gate 44 by using a self-aligned implantation technology and a double diffusion technology further comprises:
[0114] S31, as shown in Figure 6 , a first photoresist 71 is first formed on the gate dielectric layer 43 and the polycrystalline silicon gate 44, a specific window is photoetched by using a common photoetching process, and the first photoresist 71 is reserved, then, the polycrystalline silicon gate 44 and the remaining first photoresist 71 are used as a mask to perform a first ion implantation and a first ion diffusion to form the channel diffusion region 41 in the top portion of the epitaxial layer 2.
[0115] S32, as shown in Figure 7 , the polycrystalline silicon gate 44 and a second photoresist 72 are used as a mask to perform a second ion implantation to form the source diffusion region 42 in the top portion of the epitaxial layer 2, and the source diffusion region 42 is located on the top portion of the channel diffusion region 41 in the vertical direction and is located within the channel diffusion region 41 in the horizontal direction.
[0116] More specifically, as shown in Figure 6As shown, in step S31, the first ion implantation is performed using the polysilicon gate 44 and the remaining first photoresist 71 as a mask, such as 100 KeV, 1~5×10⁻⁶. 13 cm -2 After the first ion implantation is completed, the remaining first photoresist 71 is removed, and then the first ion diffusion is carried out under the protection of inert gas, such as ion diffusion at 1050℃ for 90 minutes, to form a P-type doped channel diffusion region 41 in the top of the epitaxial layer 2.
[0117] This process can be adjusted according to the specific performance parameters required by the MOSFET device, which is well known to most technicians in the industry and will not be limited here.
[0118] More in detail, such as Figure 7 As shown, in step S32, source region photolithography is first performed on the second photoresist 72. Then, using the polysilicon gate 44 and the remaining second photoresist 72 as a shielding mask, a second ion implantation is performed, such as at 170 keV and 5 × 10⁻⁶ ppm. 15 cm -2 Arsenic ions are implanted to form source diffusion region 42.
[0119] In detail, such as Figure 8 As shown, between step S3 and step S4, the fabrication method of the resistive field plate asymmetric gate field effect device further includes the following steps: removing the remaining second photoresist 72, and forming a masking dielectric layer 8 on the gate dielectric layer 43 and the polysilicon gate 44 using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process or a dielectric plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. The masking dielectric layer 8 can be a silicon dioxide dielectric layer with a thickness of 500nm to 700nm, which can mask the subsequent etching of the first deep trench T1 and the second deep trench T2.
[0120] Specifically, in step S4, the positions of the first deep trench T1 and the second deep trench T2 are first exposed using a photolithography machine and a corresponding photomask. Then, dry etching is performed. After etching opens the masking dielectric layer 8 and the gate dielectric layer 43, etching continues. The first deep trench T1 and the second deep trench T2 are formed in the epitaxial layer 2 and the highly doped substrate 1. The etched first deep trench T1 perpendicularly passes through the source diffusion region 42, the channel diffusion region 41, and the epitaxial layer 2 to the highly doped substrate 1. The etched second deep trench T2 perpendicularly passes through the epitaxial layer 2 to the highly doped substrate 1. Figure 9 As shown.
[0121] The specific parameters (including the number, depth, width and depth into the high-doped substrate 1) of the first deep trench T1 and the second deep trench T2 need to be designed according to the working voltage of the high-voltage MOSFET device and the process implementation capability, and the size of the gate polysilicon electrode and the semi-insulating material resistive field plate in the same deep trench and the optimal area required by the MOSFET device need to be considered in the design process; in the embodiment of the present application, the specific parameters of the first deep trench T1 and the second deep trench T2 are designed as follows: the depth is 22 μm, the width is 0.8-1.2 μm, and the depth into the high-doped substrate 1 is h4=2 μm.
[0122] In detail, as shown in Figures 10-13 , the step S5 of forming the first resistive field plate structure 3 in the first deep trench T1 and the second resistive field plate structure 5 in the second deep trench T2 further comprises:
[0123] S51, as shown in Figure 10 , the bottom and sidewall of the first deep trench T1 are oxidized to form an oxide layer 31 in the first deep trench T1, and the bottom and sidewall of the second deep trench T2 are oxidized to form an oxide layer 51 in the second deep trench T2; as shown in Figure 11 , the oxide layer 31 at the bottom of the first deep trench T1 and the oxide layer 51 at the bottom of the second deep trench T2 are removed by using an anisotropic dry etching process, and the oxide layer 31 at the sidewall of the first deep trench T1 and the oxide layer 51 at the sidewall of the second deep trench T2 are reserved;

[0126] In detail, as shown in Figure 13As shown, the oxide layer 31 at the sidewall of the first deep trench T1 and the remaining semi-insulating polysilicon material 9 (denoted as semi-insulating polysilicon structure 32) constitute the first resistance field plate structure 3, and the oxide layer 51 at the sidewall of the second deep trench T2 and the filled semi-insulating polysilicon material 9 (denoted as semi-insulating polysilicon structure 52) constitute the second resistance field plate structure 5; it can be understood that, according to the resistance field plate theory, the oxide layer 31 and the oxide layer 51 are not necessary components, but the existence of the oxide layer 31 and the oxide layer 51 is beneficial to reduce the reverse bias leakage current of the asymmetric gate field effect device.
[0127] Meanwhile, the formation processes of the gate dielectric layer 43, the polysilicon gate 44, the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 in steps S2-S3 can also be implemented in the deep trench formation process in steps S4-S5 or based on the inter-step compatible process, which is easy for the general technical personnel in the industry to understand and achieve, and will not be described in detail here.
[0128] In detail, as shown in Figures 14-16 Step S6 of forming the source electrode 45, the gate electrode 46 and the control electrode 6 further includes:
[0129] S61, as shown in Figure 14 An isolation dielectric layer 10 is formed by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition process (LPCVD), and the isolation dielectric layer 10 can be a silicon dioxide dielectric layer, which is used to close and isolate the first resistance field plate structure 3, the MOSFET structure 4 and the second resistance field plate structure 5;
[0130] S62, as shown in Figure 15 Through photolithography and etching, a source electrode contact hole T3, a gate electrode contact hole T4 and a control electrode contact hole T5 are opened, the source electrode contact hole T3 exposes the channel diffusion region 41, the source diffusion region 42 and the top of the first resistance field plate structure 3, the gate electrode contact hole T4 exposes the polysilicon gate 44, and the control electrode contact hole T5 exposes the remaining semi-insulating polysilicon material 9 which is electrically connected to the top of the second resistance field plate structure 5;
[0131] S63, as shown in Figure 16As shown, the metal layer is deposited and photoetched to form the source electrode 45 at the position of the source electrode contact hole T3, the source electrode 45 vertically penetrates through the isolation medium layer 10, the masking medium layer 8 and the gate medium layer 43 to electrically connect with the top of the channel diffusion region 41, the source diffusion region 42 and the first resistance field plate structure 3, and the source electrode 45 is electrically connected with the top of the channel diffusion region 41, the source diffusion region 42 and the first resistance field plate structure 3 at the top sidewall of the first deep trench T1, the gate electrode 46 is formed at the position of the gate electrode contact hole T4, the gate electrode 46 vertically penetrates through the isolation medium layer 10 and the masking medium layer 8 to electrically connect with the polysilicon gate 44, the control electrode 6 is formed at the position of the control electrode contact hole T5, the control electrode 6 vertically penetrates through the isolation medium layer 10 to electrically connect with the top of the second resistance field plate structure 5 through the remaining semi-insulating polysilicon material 9.
[0132] In addition, the drain region of the MOSFET structure 4 is composed of the highly doped substrate 1 and the epitaxial layer 2 close to the highly doped substrate 1, and accordingly, the drain electrode is arranged on the side of the highly doped substrate 1 away from the epitaxial layer 2, and the metal layer is first deposited on the side of the highly doped substrate 1 away from the epitaxial layer 2 to form the drain electrode.
[0133] Finally, the resistance field plate asymmetric gate field effect device as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 16 is obtained, two asymmetric deep trench type resistance field plate structures are arranged in the minimum repeatable unit of the MOSFET device, the top end of one resistance field plate structure is provided with the MOSFET structure and is connected with the source electrode of the MOSFET structure, and the top end of the other resistance field plate structure leads out the control electrode: when the source electrode of the MOSFET structure is connected with the control electrode at the same potential, based on the asymmetry and structural difference of the two resistance field plate structures, it is more suitable to improve the impurity concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET, to reduce the on-resistance of the drift region while maintaining the withstand voltage, to optimize the basic contradiction between the on-resistance and the withstand voltage, and at the same time, the electric field coupling effect is better, and the repulsion and extrusion on the adjacent other minimum repeatable units are also reduced, thereby facilitating the structure compression of the minimum repeatable unit and being beneficial to the structure miniaturization design and high-density design; when the gate electrode of the MOSFET structure is connected with the control electrode at the same potential, the carrier concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET structure can also be adjusted and improved by the second resistance field plate, the on-resistance of the drift region is reduced, the current-carrying capacity of the device is increased, and the basic contradiction between the on-resistance and the withstand voltage is further optimized; in the process, the modern 2.5-dimensional three-dimensional processing technology based on deep trench etching is adopted, which is further beneficial to the structure miniaturization design and high-density design, and is more suitable for the development direction of modern integrated semiconductor devices beyond Moore.
[0134] Furthermore, it should be noted that the steps in the above embodiments omit well-known and obvious industry-standard cleaning processes and conditions, which are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0135] Example 2
[0136] In the resistive field plate asymmetric gate field effect device of the present invention, the source electrode 45 is electrically connected to the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 at the top sidewall of the first deep trench T1. The top of the first resistive field plate structure 3 formed in the first deep trench T1 must be located in the vertical direction within the range from the bottom of the channel diffusion region 41 to the bottom of the source diffusion region 42, so as to ensure that the source electrode 45 is reliably electrically connected to the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 without making electrical contact with the epitaxial layer 2, thereby causing leakage or damaging the normal function of the MOSFET structure 4. This places relatively stringent requirements on the process.
[0137] Based on this, an improved solution is proposed in this embodiment of the invention: the electrical connection of the channel diffusion region 41 is led to the surface of the epitaxial layer 2 through the channel contact region that contacts the channel diffusion region 41, so that the subsequent electrical connection between the source electrode 45 and the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 can be realized at the surface of the epitaxial layer 2 (i.e., at the top surface of the first deep trench T1), thereby reducing the difficulty of the process.
[0138] like Figure 17 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resistive field-plate asymmetric gate field-effect device, which includes:
[0139] Highly doped substrate 1;
[0140] Epitaxial layer 2 is disposed on highly doped substrate 1, and a first deep trench and a second deep trench are formed therein, with the first deep trench and the second deep trench perpendicularly entering the highly doped substrate 1.
[0141] The first resistive field plate structure 3 is disposed in the first deep trench, and its bottom is electrically connected to the highly doped substrate 1.
[0142] MOSFET structure 4 is disposed in epitaxial layer 2 and located on first resistive field plate structure 3, and its source electrode 45 is electrically connected to the top of first resistive field plate structure 3.
[0143] The second resistive field plate structure 5 is disposed in the second deep trench, and its bottom is electrically connected to the highly doped substrate 1, and the top is electrically led out to the control electrode 6.
[0144] When the resistive field plate asymmetric gate field effect device is working, the potential of the control electrode 6 is the same as the potential of one of the electrodes, either the source electrode 45 of the MOSFET structure or the gate electrode 46 of the MOSFET structure.
[0145] In detail, as shown in Figure 17 , in the embodiment of the present application, the MOSFET structure 4 comprises:
[0146] a channel diffusion region 41 disposed in the epitaxial layer 2 and having an impurity conductivity type opposite to that of the epitaxial layer 2;
[0147] a source diffusion region 42 disposed in the epitaxial layer 2 and located on the channel diffusion region 41, and having an impurity conductivity type same as that of the epitaxial layer 2;
[0148] a channel contact region 47 disposed in the epitaxial layer 2 and in contact with the channel diffusion region 41, and having an impurity conductivity type opposite to that of the epitaxial layer 2;
[0149] a gate dielectric layer 43 disposed on the epitaxial layer 2;
[0150] a polysilicon gate 44 disposed on the gate dielectric layer 43 and laterally covering at least non-overlapping regions of the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42;
[0151] a source electrode 45 vertically penetrating through the gate dielectric layer 43 and electrically connected to the source diffusion region 42, the channel contact region 47 and the top of the first resistive field plate structure 3, and the source electrode 45 is electrically connected to the source diffusion region 42 and the channel contact region 47 at the top surface of the first deep trench;
[0152] a gate electrode 46 electrically connected to the polysilicon gate 44;
[0153] a drain electrode electrically led out from the high-doped substrate 1 away from the epitaxial layer 2.
[0154] In detail, as shown in Figure 17 , the device structure in the embodiment of the present application is similar to that in the first embodiment, and the only difference is that the MOSFET structure 4 further comprises a channel contact region 47 disposed in the epitaxial layer 2 and in contact with the channel diffusion region 41, so that the subsequent electrical connection of the source electrode 45 to the channel diffusion region 41 and the source diffusion region 42 can be realized at the surface of the epitaxial layer 2; at the same time, since the channel diffusion region 41 no longer needs to be exposed to the sidewall of the first deep trench T1, the first resistive field plate structure 3 completely fills the first deep trench T1.

When the source electrode of the MOSFET structure is electrically connected to the control electrode, the electric field coupling effect of the two resistance field plate structures is better due to the structural asymmetry and difference, which is more suitable for improving the impurity concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET, reducing the on-resistance of the drift region while maintaining the withstand voltage, and optimizing the basic contradiction between the on-resistance and the withstand voltage. At the same time, the electric field coupling effect is better, and the repulsion and extrusion of the adjacent other minimum repeatable units are reduced, thereby facilitating the structure compression of the minimum repeatable unit and being beneficial to the structure miniaturization design and high-density design. When the gate electrode of the MOSFET structure is electrically connected to the control electrode, the carrier concentration of the drift region of the MOSFET structure can also be adjusted and improved by the second resistance field plate, the on-resistance of the drift region is reduced, the conductivity of the device is increased, and the basic contradiction between the on-resistance and the withstand voltage is further optimized. The modern 2.5-dimensional three-dimensional processing technology based on deep trench etching is adopted in the process, which is further beneficial to the structure miniaturization design and high-density design, and is more suitable for the development direction of modern integrated semiconductor devices beyond Moore.
