Abstract:
A semiconductor power device disposed on a semiconductor substrate comprises a plurality of trenches formed at a top portion of the semiconductor substrate extending laterally across the semiconductor substrate along a longitudinal direction each having a nonlinear portion comprising a sidewall perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the trench and extends vertically downward from a top surface to a trench bottom surface. The semiconductor power device further includes a trench bottom dopant region disposed below the trench bottom surface and a sidewall dopant region disposed along the perpendicular sidewall wherein the sidewall dopant region extends vertically downward along the perpendicular sidewall of the trench to reach the trench bottom dopant region and pick-up the trench bottom dopant region to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises an aluminum alloy lead-frame with a passivation layer covering an exposed portion of the aluminum alloy lead-frame. Since aluminum alloy is a low-cost material, and its hardness and flexibility are suitable for deformation process, such as punching, bending, molding and the like, aluminum alloy lead frame is suitable for mass production; furthermore, since its weight is much lower than copper or iron-nickel material, aluminum alloy lead frame is very convenient for the production of semiconductor devices.
Abstract:
A method for making gate-oxide with step-graded thickness (S-G GOX) in a trenched DMOS device is proposed. First, a substrate is provided and a silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon oxide (ONO) protective composite layer is formed atop. Second, an upper interim trench (UIT), an upper trench protection wall (UTPW) and a lower interim trench (LIT) are created into the substrate. Third, the substrate material surrounding the LIT is shaped and oxidized into a desired thick-oxide-layer of thickness T1 and depth D1. Fourth, previously formed UTPW is stripped off from the device in progress, then a thin-gate-oxide of thickness T2 where T2
Abstract:
A method for fabricating an anode-shorted field stop insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) comprises selectively forming first and second semiconductor implant regions of opposite conductivity types. A field stop layer of a second conductivity type can be grown onto or implanted into the substrate. An epitaxial layer can be grown on the substrate or on the field stop layer. One or more insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) component cells are formed within the epitaxial layer.
Abstract:
A power MOSFET device and manufacturing method thereof, includes the steps of selectively depositing a first conductive material in the middle region at the bottom of a contact trench and contacting with light-doped N-type epitaxial layer to form a Schottky junction and depositing a second conductive material at the side wall and bottom corner of the contact trench and contacting with P-type heavy-doped body region to form an ohmic junction. The first and second conductive materials can respectively optimize the performance of the ohmic contact and the Schottky contact without compromise. Meanwhile, the corner of the contact trench is surrounded by P-type heavy-doped region thereby effectively reducing the leakage currents accumulated at the corner of the contact trench.
