Abstract:
An electronic power device is integrated monolithically in a semiconductor substrate. The device has a first power region and a second region, each region comprising at least one P/N junction formed of a first semiconductor region with a first type of conductivity, which first semiconductor region extends through the substrate from the top surface of the device and is diffused into a second semiconductor region with the opposite conductivity from the first. The device also includes an interface structure between the two regions, of substantial thickness and limited planar size, comprising at least one trench filled with dielectric material. A method of manufacturing the electronic power device includes forming a silicon oxide-filled trench by the following steps: forming, in the substrate, a plurality of small trenches having predetermined widths and being delimited by a corresponding plurality of semiconductor material walls having second predetermined widths; and oxidizing the semiconductor by a thermal process directed to oxidize the walls and produce a single trench.

Abstract:
A dielectric insulation structure is formed in a silicon layer by integrating a dielectric trench structure therein. The dielectric trench structure defines an insulation well where semiconductor devices are to be integrated therein. The dielectric trench structure is on a hollow region that is completely surrounded by a dielectric area. The dielectric area also forms the side insulation of the dielectric trench structure. The dielectric trench structure is interrupted by a plurality of points to define a plurality of side support regions for the insulation well.
