摘要： Semiconductor devices and methods for making such devices that contain a 3D channel architecture are described. The 3D channel architecture is formed using a dual trench structure containing with a plurality of lower trenches extending in an x and y directional channels and separated by a mesa and an upper trench extending in a y direction and located in an upper portion of the substrate proximate a source region. Thus, smaller pillar trenches are formed within the main line-shaped trench. Such an architecture generates additional channel regions which are aligned substantially perpendicular to the conventional line-shaped channels. The channel regions, both conventional and perpendicular, are electrically connected by their corner and top regions to produce higher current flow in all three dimensions. With such a configuration, higher channel density, a stronger inversion layer, and a more uniform threshold distribution can be obtained for the semiconductor device. Other embodiments are described.

摘要： A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. A hard mask layer is formed over a semiconductor region. The hard mask layer has inner portions that are thinner than its outer portions, and the inner portions define an exposed surface area of the semiconductor region. A portion of the semiconductor region is removed through the exposed surface area of the semiconductor region. The thinner portions of the hard mask layer are removed to expose surface areas of the semiconductor region underlying the thinner portions. An additional portion of the semiconductor region is removed through all exposed surface areas of the semiconductor region thereby forming a trench having an upper portion that is wider than its lower portion.

摘要： A process for forming a vertically conducting semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a topside surface and a backside surface. The semiconductor substrate serves as a terminal of the vertically conducting device for biasing the vertically conducting device during operation. The process also includes forming an epitaxial layer extending over the topside surface of the semiconductor substrate but terminating prior to reaching an edge of the semiconductor substrate so as to form a recessed region along a periphery of the semiconductor substrate. The method also includes forming an interconnect layer extending into the recessed region but terminating prior to reaching an edge of the semiconductor substrate. The interconnect layer electrically contacts the topside surface of the semiconductor substrate in the recessed region to thereby provide a topside contact to the semiconductor substrate.

摘要： Edge termination structures for power semiconductor devices and methods for making such structures are described. The power semiconductor devices (or power devices) contain a substrate with an epitaxial layer thereon, an array of substantially-parallel, active trenches formed in the epitaxial layer, with the active trenches containing a transistor structure with an insulated gate conducting layer, a superjunction or shielded region adjacent the active trenches; a peripheral trench surrounding the active trenches, and a source contact area within an upper surface of the epitaxial layer, where the gate conducting layer extends over the superjunction or shielded region and over the surrounding peripheral trench. Such a configuration allows the edge termination structure to be used with a wide range of breakdown voltages in power MOSFET devices containing PN superjunction structures. Other embodiments are described.
