摘要:
In a semiconductor device in which gate trenches and source trenches are formed, when the semiconductor device is flatly viewed, N+ type source areas are formed in parallel with the gate trenches to ease the miniaturization of the semiconductor device. P+ type diffusion areas are separately formed in a direction orthogonal to the N+ type source areas and the gate trenches. Thus, the N+ type source areas and a P type body layer are formed in a laminated state, but the P+ type diffusion areas are not laminated. Therefore, the structure of a mesa section is extremely simple. Furthermore, gate electrode films are connected to one another by a connection member. Thus, the semiconductor device has such a structure as to easily secure electric connection to each gate electrode film from outside. According to the foregoing structure, it is possible to extremely ease the miniaturization of the semiconductor device.

A technique is provided which makes it possible to reduce the area of a power MOSFET. A power MOSFET 1 according to the invention is a trench type in which a source region 27 is exposed on both of a substrate top surface 51 and an inner circumferential surface 52 of a trench 18. Since this makes it possible to provide contact between the source region 27 and a source electrode film 29 not only on the substrate top surface 51 but also on the inner circumferential surface 52 of the trench 18, source contact is provided with a sufficiently low resistance only on the substrate top surface, and the area of the device can be made smaller than that in the related art in which the source region 27 has been formed in a larger area.

A technique for reducing an on-resistance of a transistor is provided. A power MOSFET of the present invention has a semiconductor material which is disposed under a polysilicon gate and composed of polysilicon into which impurities are doped at low concentration. Therefore, a depletion layer is expanded to the inside of the semiconductor material under the polysilicon gate. Since the electric field strengths are uniform from the surface of a drain layer to a depth of the bottom surface of the semiconductor material and a high electric field is not generated at one site, the avalanche breakdown voltage of the transistor is increased. Therefore, the concentration of impurities in drain layer can be made higher than that in a conventional transistor and thereby the on-resistance of the transistor 1 can be reduced.

A trench gate power MOSFET (1) includes: an n−-type epitaxial layer (12); a p-type body region (20) formed in the vicinity of an upper surface of the n−-type epitaxial layer (12); a plurality of trenches (14) formed so as to reach the n−-type epitaxial layer (12) from an upper surface of the p-type body region (20); and gates (18) formed in the trenches (14). In some regions facing the p-type body region (20) in the n−-type epitaxial layer (12), p-type carrier extracting regions (26a, 26b, 26c) are formed. According to the trench gate power MOSFET (1), holes generated in a cell region can be effectively collected through the p-type carrier extracting regions (26a, 26b, 26c) so as to further increase a speed of the switching operation.

摘要:
The capacitance between the gate electrode film and the drain layer of semiconductor device is reduced while keeping the resistance low, with the breakdown voltage of the gate insulating film also being maintained at a sufficient level. A trench 10 is formed with the bottom of the trench at a comparatively shallow position in an N-epitaxial layer 18. The thickness of a bottom surface part 16 of a gate electrode film 11 is formed so as to be thicker than other parts of the gate electrode film 11. Also, when a P type body layer 19 is formed, an interface between the P type body layer 19 and an N-epitaxial layer 18 is located at a deeper position than a bottom end of the gate electrode film 11.
