摘要:
Provided is a semiconductor device having a high switching speed. A semiconductor device is provided with an n-type epitaxial layer having a plurality of trenches arranged at prescribed intervals; an embedded electrode formed on an inner surface of the trench through a silicon oxide film to embed each trench; and a metal layer, which is capacitively coupled with the embedded electrode by being arranged above the embedded electrode through a silicon oxide film. In the semiconductor device, a region between the adjacent trenches operates as a channel (current path). A current flowing in the channel is interrupted by covering the region with a depletion layer formed at the periphery of the trenches, and the current is permitted to flow through the channel by eliminating the depletion layer at the periphery of the trenches.

Provided is a semiconductor device in which on-resistance is largely reduced based on a new principle of operation. In the semiconductor device, if an embedded electrode is at negative potential, a depletion layer is formed from a trench to a neighboring trench so that a channel is turned off. If the embedded electrode is at a positive potential, the depletion layer is not formed in every region between the neighboring trenches so that the channel is turned on.

Provided is a semiconductor device in which on-resistance is largely reduced based on a new principle of operation. In the semiconductor device (1), if an embedded electrode (5) is at negative potential, a depletion layer (11) is formed from a trench (3a) to a neighboring trench so that a channel (10) is turned off. If the embedded electrode is at a positive potential, the depletion layer is not formed in every region between the neighboring trenches so that the channel is turned on.
摘要:
Provided is a semiconductor device in which on-resistance is largely reduced. The semiconductor device includes an n type epitaxial layer (2) in which each region between neighboring trenches (3) becomes a channel (9), and a plurality of embedded electrodes (5) each of which is formed on an inner surface of each trench (3) via a silicon oxide film (4). The plurality of embedded electrodes (5) include two types of embedded electrodes (5a and 5b) to which voltages are applied separately. By blocking each region between neighboring trenches (3) with a depletion layer (10) formed around every trench (3), current flowing through each region between the neighboring trenches (3) is interrupted. By deleting the depletion layer (10a) formed around the trench (3a) filled with the embedded electrode (5a), current can flow through each region between neighboring trenches (3).

Provided is a semiconductor device in which on-resistance is largely reduced. In a region (2a) of an N type epitaxial layer (2) of the semiconductor device 20, each region between neighboring trenches (3) is blocked with a depletion layer (14) formed around a trench (3) so that a current passage (12) is interrupted, while a part of the depletion layer (14) formed around the trench (3) is deleted so that the current passage (12) is opened. In a region (2b), a junction portion (8) between the N type epitaxial layer (2) and a P+ type diffusion region (7) makes a Zener diode (8).

摘要:
A semiconductor device has a cell region where transistor cells of a trench structure are arranged in a matrix form, in which a recessed trench is formed in a semiconductor layer, a gate oxide film is formed inside the recessed trench, and a gate electrode formed of polysilicon is disposed inside the recessed trench. To have contact with a gate wiring formed of a metal film, a gate pad disposed continuously to the gate electrode is placed inside a recessed part formed in the same depth as the recessed trench. Consequently, many transistor cells of the trench structure are formed in a matrix form. Even in a semiconductor device where the gate wiring formed of a metal film is contacted with the gate electrode, a semiconductor device of a structure allowing gate voltage to be increased sufficiently can be obtained.
