In a general aspect, a power device can include at least one N-type epitaxial layer disposed on a substrate and a plurality of N-pillars and P-pillars that define alternating P-N-pillars in the at least one N-type epitaxial layer. The power device can also include an active region and a termination region, where the termination region surrounds the active region. The alternating P-N-pillars can be disposed in both the active region and the termination region, where the termination region can include a predetermined number of floating P-pillars.

A charge balance semiconductor power device comprises an active area having strips of p pillars and strips of n pillars arranged in an alternating manner, the strips of p and n pillars extending along a length of the active area. A non-active perimeter region surrounds the active area, and includes at least one p ring surrounding the active area. One end of at last one of the strips of p pillars extending immediately adjacent an edge of the active area terminates at a substantially straight line at which one end of each of the remainder of the strips of p pillars also end. The straight line extends perpendicular to the length of the active area along which the strips of n and p pillars extend.

摘要:
A semiconductor power device includes a drift region of a first conductivity type, a well region extending above the drift region and having a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type, an active trench extending through the well region and into the drift region, source regions having the first conductivity type formed in the well region adjacent the active trench, and a first termination trench extending below the well region and disposed at an outer edge of an active region of the device. The sidewalls and bottom of the active trench are lined with dielectric material, and substantially filled with a first conductive layer forming an upper electrode and a second conductive layer forming a lower electrode, the upper electrode being disposed above the lower electrode and separated therefrom by inter-electrode dielectric material. The first termination trench can be lined with a layer of dielectric material that is thicker than the dielectric material lining the sidewalls of the active trench, and is substantially filled with conductive material.

In one general aspect, a termination structure can include a plurality of pillars of a first conductivity type formed inside a termination region of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type where the plurality of pillars define a plurality of concentric rings surrounding an active area of a semiconductor device. The termination structure can include a conductive field plate where the plurality of pillars includes a first pillar coupled to the conductive field plate. The termination structure can include a dielectric layer where the plurality of pillars include a second pillar insulated by the dielectric layer from a portion of the conductive field plate disposed directly above the second pillar included in the plurality of pillars.
摘要:
A power device includes an active region and a termination region surrounding the active region. A plurality of pillars of first and second conductivity type are alternately arranged in each of the active and termination regions. The pillars of first conductivity type in the active and termination regions have substantially the same width, and the pillars of second conductivity type in the active region have a smaller width than the pillars of second conductivity type in the termination region so that a charge balance condition in each of the active and termination regions results in a higher breakdown voltage in the termination region than in the active region.
