trench

Hi
how is a trench constructed?
What layers are used?
How is it useful in latchup protection?

Will be grateful if anyone would enlighten me.
Thanks
 

Re: Trench Construction

Very quick.

-mask
-plasma etching
-fill with SiO2
-fill with polysilicon

A deep trench is like a wall, it prevents parasitic currents making the chip less sensitive to LU. STI has no effect on LU.
