Abstract:
A manufacturing method of an electronic device includes: forming a drift layer of an N type; forming a trench in the drift layer; forming an edge-termination structure alongside the trench by implanting dopant species of a P type; and forming a depression region between the trench and the edge-termination structure by digging the drift layer. The steps of forming the depression region and the trench are carried out at the same time. The step of forming the depression region comprises patterning the drift layer to form a structural connection with the edge-termination structure having a first slope, and the step of forming the trench comprises etching the drift layer to define side walls of the trench, which have a second slope steeper than the first slope.

Abstract:
A vertical conduction electronic device is formed by a body of wide-bandgap semiconductor material having a first conductivity type and a surface, which defines a first direction and a second direction. The body has a drift region. The electronic device includes a plurality of superficial implanted regions having a second conductivity type, which extend in the drift region from the surface and delimit between them, in the drift region, at least one superficial portion facing the surface. At least one deep implanted region has the second conductivity type, and extends in the drift region, at a distance from the surface of the body. A metal region extends on the surface of the body, in Schottky contact with the superficial portion of the drift region.
