    摘要: An electronic device can include a semiconductor layer overlying a substrate and having a primary surface and a thickness, wherein a trench extends through at least approximately 50% of the thickness of semiconductor layer to a depth. The electronic device can further include a conductive structure within the trench, wherein the conductive structure extends at least approximately 50% of the depth of the trench. The electronic device can still further include a vertically-oriented doped region within the semiconductor layer adjacent to and electrically insulated from the conductive structure; and an insulating layer disposed between the vertically-oriented doped region and the conductive structure. A process of forming an electronic device can include patterning a semiconductor layer to define a trench extending through at least approximately 50% of the thickness of the semiconductor layer and forming a vertically-oriented doped region after patterning the semiconductor layer to define the trench.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a substrate including an underlying doped region and a semiconductor layer overlying the substrate. A trench can have a sidewall and extend at least partly through the semiconductor layer. The electronic device can further include a first conductive structure adjacent to the underlying doped region, an insulating layer, and a second conductive structure within the trench. The insulating layer can be disposed between the first and second conductive structures, and the first conductive structure can be disposed between the insulating layer and the underlying doped region. Processes of forming the electronic device may be performed such that the first conductive structure includes a conductive fill material or a doped region within the semiconductor layer. The first conductive structure can allow the underlying doped region to be farther from the channel region and allow RDSON to be lower for a given BVDSS.

    摘要: An electronic device can include a semiconductor layer having a primary surface, and a Schottky contact comprising a metal-containing member in contact with a horizontally-oriented lightly doped region within the semiconductor layer and lying adjacent to the primary surface. In an embodiment, the metal-containing member lies within a recess in the semiconductor layer and contacts the horizontally-oriented lightly doped region along a sidewall of the recess. In other embodiment, the Schottky contact may not be formed within a recess, and a doped region may be formed within the semiconductor layer under the horizontally-oriented lightly doped region and have a conductivity type opposite the horizontally-oriented lightly doped region. The Schottky contacts can be used in conjunction with power transistors in a switching circuit, such as a high-frequency voltage regulator.

A semiconductor material has a semiconductor device region and an edge termination region. One or more device trenches may be formed in the semiconductor device region and one or more termination trenches is formed in the edge termination region. A source electrode is formed in a portion of a termination trench adjacent its floor and a floating electrode termination structure is formed in the portion of the termination trench adjacent its mouth. A second termination trench may be formed in the edge termination region and a non-floating electrode may be formed in the second termination trench. Alternatively, the second termination trench may be omitted and a trench-less non-floating electrode may be formed in the edge termination region.
