    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods for making such devices using nitride consumption LOCOS oxidation are described. The semiconductor devices contain a planar field oxide structure that has been grown using a nitride layer as an oxidation mask. Once the field oxide structure has been grown, the nitride mask is not etched away, but rather converted to an oxide layer by an oxidation process using radicals of hydrogen and oxygen. The semiconductor devices also contain a shielded gate trench MOSFET that can be created using an oxide layer with an overlying nitride layer as the channel (sidewall) gate dielectric. An inter-poly-dielectric (IPD) layer can be formed from a thermally grown oxide which uses the nitride layer as a oxidation mask. The thickness of the IPD layer can be adjusted to any thickness needed with minimal effect of the channel gate dielectric layer. An oxidation process using radicals of hydrogen and oxygen can be preformed to consume the nitride layer and form the gate oxide in the channel region. Since the gate channel nitride acts as a barrier to the oxidation, the IPD oxide layer can be grown to any needed thickness with minimal oxidation to the channel gate and the nitride layer can be removed without any etching processes. Other embodiments are described.

    摘要: A shielded gate field effect transistor includes a trench extending into a semiconductor region. A shield electrode is in a lower portion of the trench, and is insulated from the semiconductor region by a shield dielectric. The shield dielectric comprises first and second dielectric layers, the first dielectric layer extending between the second dielectric layer and the semiconductor region. The second dielectric layer comprises a material which during oxidation process inhibits growth of oxide along surfaces of the semiconductor region covered by the second dielectric layer. An inter-electrode dielectric overlies the shield electrode, and a gate dielectric lines upper trench sidewalls. A gate electrode is in an upper portion of the trench over the inter-electrode dielectric.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a trench structure for a trench MOSFET, including the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate having a major surface, forming a dielectric pillar on the substrate major surface (the dielectric pillar extending substantially perpendicularly from the major surface of the substrate), selectively forming a semiconductor layer around the dielectric pillar, and removing a predetermined length of the dielectric pillar to create a trench in the substrate, the trench defined by sidewalls and a bottom. The method permits the controlled formation of a dielectric plug at the bottom of the trench, the plug having predetermined dimensions.
