An integrated structure combines field effect transistors and a Schottky diode. Trenches formed into a substrate composition extend along a depth of the substrate composition forming mesas therebetween. Each trench is filled with conductive material separated from the trench walls by dielectric material forming a gate region. Two first conductivity type body regions inside each mesa form wells partly into the depth of the substrate composition. An exposed portion of the substrate composition separates the body regions. Second conductivity type source regions inside each body region are adjacent to and on opposite sides of each well. Schottky barrier metal inside each well forms Schottky junctions at interfaces with exposed vertical sidewalls of the exposed portion of the substrate composition separating the body regions.

A switching device includes a low voltage normally-off transistor and a control circuit built into a common die. The device includes source, gate and drain electrodes for the transistor and one or more auxiliary electrodes. The drain electrode is on one surface of a die on which the transistor is formed, while each of the remaining electrodes is located on an opposite surface. The one or more auxiliary electrodes provide electrical contact to the control circuit, which is electrically connected to one or more of the other electrodes.

Transistor devices can be fabricated with an integrated diode using a self-alignment. The device includes a doped semiconductor substrate having one or more electrically insulated gate electrodes formed in trenches in the substrate. One or more body regions are formed in a top portion of the substrate proximate each gate trench. One or more source regions are formed in a self-aligned fashion in a top portion of the body regions proximate each gate trench. One or more thick insulator portions are formed over the gate electrodes on a top surface of the substrate with spaces between adjacent thick insulator portions. A metal is formed on top of the substrate over the thick insulator portions. The metal forms a self-aligned contact to the substrate through the spaces between the thick insulator portions. An integrated diode is formed under the self-aligned contact.

A hybrid packaged gate controlled semiconductor switching device (HPSD) has an insulated-gate transistor (IGT) made of a first semiconductor die and a rectifying-gate transistor (RGT) made of a second semiconductor die. The RGT gate and source are electrically connected to the IGT source and drain respectively. The HPSD includes a package base with package terminals for interconnecting the HPSD to external environment. The IGT is die bonded atop the package base. The second semiconductor die is formed upon a composite semiconductor epi layer overlaying an electrically insulating substrate (EIS) thus creating a RGT die. The RGT die is stacked and bonded atop the IGT die via the EIS. The IGT, RGT die and package terminals are interconnected with bonding wires. Thus, the HPSD is a stacked package of IGT die and RGT die with reduced package footprint while allowing flexible placements of device terminal electrodes on the IGT.
摘要:
In a trench-gated MIS device contact is made to the gate within the trench, thereby eliminating the need to have the gate material, typically polysilicon, extend outside of the trench. This avoids the problem of stress at the upper corners of the trench. Contact between the gate metal and the polysilicon is normally made in a gate metal region that is outside the active region of the device. Various configurations for making the contact between the gate metal and the polysilicon are described, including embodiments wherein the trench is widened in the area of contact. Since the polysilicon is etched back below the top surface of the silicon throughout the device, there is normally no need for a polysilicon mask, thereby saving fabrication costs.
