摘要:
A trench MOS-gated semiconductor device that includes field relief regions formed below its base region to improve its breakdown voltage, and method for its manufacturing.
摘要:
The active area of a current sense die is surrounded by a transition region which extends to the terminating periphery of the die. Spaced parallel MOSgated trenches extend through and define an active area. The trench positions in the transition region are eliminated or are deactivated, as by shorting to the MOSFET source of the trench, or by removing the source regions in areas of the transition region. By inactivating MOSgate action in the transition region surrounding the source, the device is made less sensitive to current ratio variation due to varying manufacturing tolerances. The gate to source capacitance is increased by surrounding the active area with an enlarged P+ field region which is at least five times the area of the active region, thereby to make the device less sensitive to ESD failure.
摘要:
A vertical conduction MOSFET having a reduced on resistance RDSON as well as reduced threshold voltage Vth, and an improved resistance to punchthrough and walkout has an extremely shallow source diffusion, of less than 0.3 microns in depth and an extremely shallow channel diffusion, of less than about 3 microns in depth. In a P channel version, phosphorus is implanted into the bottom of a contact trench and into the channel region with an implant energy of 400 keV for a singly charged phosphorus ion or 200 keV for a doubly charged ion, thereby to prevent walkout of the threshold voltage.

摘要:

摘要:
A fabrication process for a trench type power semiconductor device includes forming inside spacers over a semiconductor surface. Using the spacers as masks, trenches with gates are formed in the semiconductor body. After removing the spacers, source implants are formed in the semiconductor body along the trench edges and are then driven. Insulation caps are then formed over the trenches. Outside spacers are next formed along the sides of the caps. Using these spacers as masks, the semiconductor surface is etched and high conductivity contact regions formed. The outside spacers are then removed and source and drain contacts formed. Alternatively, the source implants are not driven. Rather, prior to outside spacer formation a second source implant is performed. The outside spacers are then formed, portions of the second source implant etched, any remaining source implant driven, and the contact regions formed. The gate electrodes are either recessed below or extend above the semiconductor surface.
