In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a power semiconductor device includes a first drift region of a first conductivity type extending over a semiconductor substrate. The first drift region has a lower impurity concentration than the semiconductor substrate. A second drift region of the first conductivity type extends over the first drift region, and has a higher impurity concentration than the first drift region. A plurality of stripe-shaped body regions of a second conductivity type are formed in an upper portion of the second drift region. A third region of the first conductivity type is formed in an upper portion of each body region so as to form a channel region in each body region between the third region and the second drift region. A gate electrode laterally extends over but is insulated from: (i) the channel region in each body region, (ii) a surface area of the second drift region between adjacent stripes of body regions, and (iii) a surface portion of each source region.

A sense FET is provided that is capable of achieving one of many available sense current ratios after manufacture, and a method of manufacturing the same. The sense FET includes a main cell array of MOSFET cells connected in parallel, and a main pad connected to the sources of the main cells. A plurality of unit sense cells are arranged in arrays, and also optionally in groups corresponding to portions of the arrays. A plurality of sense pads are electrically insulated from each other. Each sense pad is connected to the sources of the unit sense cells of either a complete sense cell array, or of a group corresponding to a portion of an array. Every sense pad is connected either to the sense resistor or to the main pad. When connected to a sense resistor, the corresponding unit cells are used as sense cells. For every different combination of sense pads that are connected to the sense resistor, a different number of unit cells are used as sense cells, and therefore a different sense current ratio is effectuated for the device. Connection to the sense resistor is by a reconfigurable wire bonding process, or by cutting electrically metal thin film fuses that initially connect the sense pads. The fuses can also initially join the sense pads to the main pad. This way the unit cells of unused sense pads can act instead as main cells.

A method of forming an insulated gate semiconductor device includes the steps of patterning an insulated gate electrode on a face of a substrate containing a first conductivity type region and forming a trench at the face using the gate electrode as a mask. Second conductivity type dopants are then deposited onto the bottom and sidewalls of the trench and diffused into the substrate to form a relatively lightly doped first body region. The gate electrode is then used again as a mask during a step of implanting a relatively high dose of second conductivity type dopants at the bottom of the trench. These implanted dopants are then partially diffused laterally and downwardly away from the bottom and sidewalls of the trench. The gate electrode is then used again to deposit first conductivity type dopants onto the sidewalls (and bottom) of the trench. The deposited first conductivity type dopants on the sidewalls and previously partially diffused second conductivity type dopants are then simultaneously diffused into the first body region. During this step, the deposited first conductivity type dopants diffuse laterally away from the sidewalls of trench and underneath the insulated gate electrode into the surrounding first body region to form source regions. The partially diffused second conductivity type dopants also continue to diffuse laterally away from the lowermost portions of the sidewalls of the trench and downward from the bottom of the trench to form a relatively wide second body region underneath the source region(s).

A MOS-gate power semiconductor device includes: a main device area including an active area and an edge termination area; and an auxiliary device area horizontally formed outside the main device area so as to include one or more diodes. Accordingly, it is possible to protect a circuit from an overcurrent and thus to prevent deterioration and/or destruction of a device due to the overcurrent.

Provided are a power semiconductor device using a silicon substrate as a FS layer and a method of manufacturing the same. A semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type is prepared. An epitaxial layer is grown on one surface of the semiconductor substrate. Here, the epitaxial layer is doped at a concentration lower than that of the semiconductor substrate and is intended to be used as a drift region. A base region of a second conductivity type is formed in a predetermined region of the epitaxial layer. An emitter region of the first conductivity type is formed in a predetermined region of the base region. A gate electrode with a gate insulating layer is formed on the base region between the emitter region and the drift region of the epitaxial layer. A rear surface of the semiconductor substrate is ground to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor substrate, thereby setting an FS region of the first conductivity type. A collector region of the second conductivity type is formed on the ground surface of the semiconductor substrate of the FS region, thereby forming an FS-IGBT.
