    摘要: A trench-gate semiconductor device (100) has a trench network (STR1), ITR1) surrounding a plurality of closed transistor cells (TCS). The trench network comprises segment trench regions (STR1) adjacent sides of the transistor cells (TCS) and intersection trench regions (ITR1) adjacent corners of the transistor cells. As shown in FIG. 16 which is a section view along the line II-II of FIG. 11, the intersection trench regions (ITR1) each include insulating material (21D) which extends from the bottom of the intersection trench region with a thickness which is greater than the thickness of the insulating material (21B1) at the bottom of the segment trench regions (STR1). The greater thickness of the insulating material (21D) extending from the bottom of the intersection trench regions (ITR1) is effective to increase the drain-source reverse breakdown voltage of the device (100). The insulating material (21D) which extends from the bottom of each intersection trench region (ITR1) may extend upwards to thicken the insulating material at the corners of the cells (TCS) over at least part of the vertical extent of the channel-accommodating body region (23) so as to increase the threshold voltage of the device.

    摘要: A RESURF trench gate MOSFET has a sufficiently small pitch (close spacing of neighbouring trenches) that intermediate areas of the drain drift region are depleted in the blocking condition of the MOSFET. However, premature breakdown can still occur in this known device structure at the perimeter/edge of the active device area and/or adjacent the gate bondpad. To counter premature breakdown, the invention adopts two principles: the gate bondpad is either connected to an underlying stripe trench network surrounded by active cells, or is directly on top of the active cells, and a compatible 2D edge termination scheme is provided around the RESURF active device area. These principles can be implemented in various cellular layouts e.g. a concentric annular device geometry, which may be circular or rectangular or ellipsoidal, in the active area and in the edge termination, or a device array of such concentric hexagonal or circular stripe cells, or a device array of square active cells with stripe edge cells, or a device array of hexagonal active cells with an edge termination of hexagonal edge cells.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a trench-gate semiconductor device (1), the method including forming trenches (20) in a semiconductor body (10) in an active transistor cell area of the device, the trenches (20) each having a trench bottom and trench sidewalls, and providing silicon oxide gate insulation (21) in the trenches such that the gate insulation (33) at the trench bottoms is thicker than the gate insulation (21) at the trench sidewalls in order to reduce the gate-drain capacitance of the device. The method includes, after forming the trenches (20), the steps of: (a) forming a silicon oxide layer (21) at the trench bottoms and trench sidewalls; (b) depositing a layer of doped polysilicon (31) adjacent the trench bottoms and trench side walls; (c) forming silicon nitride spacers (32) on the doped polysilicon (21) adjacent the trench sidewalls leaving the doped polysilicon exposed at the trench bottoms; (d) thermally oxidising the exposed doped polysilicon to grow said thicker gate insulation (33) at the trench bottoms; (e) removing the silicon nitride spacers (32); and (f) depositing gate conductive material (34) within the trenches to form a gate electrode for the device. The final thickness of the thicker gate insulation (33) at the trench bottoms is well controlled by the thickness of the layer of doped polysilicon (31) deposited in step (b). Also the doped (preferably greater than 5 e 19 cm-3) polysilicon oxidises fast at low temperatures (preferably 700-800° C.), reducing the risk of diffusing (e.g. p body) implantations present in the device at that stage.
