摘要:
Integrated power semiconductor devices having improved high frequency switching performance, improved edge termination characteristics and reduced on-state resistance include GD-UMOSFET unit cells with upper trench-based gate electrodes and lower trench-based source electrodes. The use of the trench-based source electrode instead of a larger gate electrode reduces the gate-to-drain capacitance (CGD) of the UMOSFET and improves switching speed by reducing the amount of gate charging and discharging current that is needed during high frequency operation.

A semiconductor structure with dispersedly arranged active region trenches is provided. The semiconductor structure comprises a semiconductor substrate, an epitaxial layer, and an active region dielectric layer. The semiconductor substrate is doped with impurities of a first conductive type having a first impurity concentration. The epitaxial layer is doped with impurities of the first conductive type having a second impurity concentration and is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The epitaxial layer has a plurality of active region trenches and arranged in a dispersed manner. The active region dielectric layer covers a bottom and a sidewall of the active region trenches. The active region trenches have an opening in a tetragonal shape on a surface of the epitaxial layer, and the first impurity concentration is greater than the second impurity concentration.

A semiconductor rectifier includes a semiconductor substrate having a first type of conductivity. A first layer, which is formed on the substrate, has the first type of conductivity and is more lightly doped than the substrate. A second layer having a second type of conductivity is formed on the substrate and a metal layer is disposed over the second layer. The second layer is lightly doped so that a Schottky contact is formed between the metal layer and the second layer. A first electrode is formed over the metal layer and a second electrode is formed on a backside of the substrate.

A termination structure for a power transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having an active region and a termination region. The substrate has a first type of conductivity. A termination trench is located in the termination region and extends from a boundary of the active region to within a certain distance of an edge of the semiconductor substrate. A doped region has a second type of conductivity disposed in the substrate below the termination trench. A MOS gate is formed on a sidewall adjacent the boundary. The doped region extends from below a portion of the MOS gate spaced apart from the boundary toward a remote sidewall of the termination trench. A termination structure oxide layer is formed on the termination trench and covers a portion of the MOS gate and extends toward the edge of the substrate. A first conductive layer is formed on a backside surface of the semiconductor substrate. A second conductive layer is formed atop the active region, an exposed portion of the MOS gate, and extends to cover at least a portion of the termination structure oxide layer.
