Abstract:
An IGBT for controlling the application of power to a plasma display panel has an increased current conduction capability and a reduced conduction loss at the expense of a reduced safe operating area. For a device with a 300 volt breakdown voltage rating, the die has a substrate resistivity less than 10 m ohm cm; a buffer layer thickness of about 8 μm resistivity in the range of 0.05 to 0.10 ohm cm, and an epi layer for receiving junction patterns and trenches, which has a thickness of from 31 to 37 μm and resistivity in te range of 14 to 18 ohm cm.

Abstract:
A fabrication process for a trench Schottky diode with differential oxide thickness within the trenches includes forming a first nitride layer on a substrate surface and subsequently forming a plurality of trenches in the substrate including, possibly, a termination trench. Following a sacrificial oxide layer formation and removal, sidewall and bottom surfaces of the trenches are oxidized. A second nitride layer is then applied to the substrate and etched such that the second nitride layer covers the oxide layer on the trench sidewalls but exposes the oxide layer on the trench bottom surfaces. The trench bottom surfaces are then re-oxidized and the remaining second nitride layer then removed from the sidewalls, resulting in an oxide layer of varying thickness being formed on the sidewall and bottom surfaces of each trench. The trenches are then filled with a P type polysilicon, the first nitride layer removed, and a Schottky barrier metal applied to the substrate surface.

Abstract:
A method for producing a semiconductor component is proposed. The method includes providing a semiconductor body having a first surface; forming a mask on the first surface, wherein the mask has openings for defining respective positions of trenches; producing the trenches in the semiconductor body using the mask, wherein mesa structures remain between adjacent trenches; introducing a first dopant of a first conduction type using the mask into the bottoms of the trenches; carrying out a first thermal step; introducing a second dopant of a second conduction type, which is complementary to the first conduction type, at least into the bottoms of the trenches; and carrying out a second thermal step.
