    摘要: A semiconductor device, such as a power MOSFET, Schottky rectifier or p-n rectifier, has a voltage-sustaining zone (20) between a first (21, 23, 31a) and second (22) device regions adjacent to respective first and second opposite surfaces (11, 12) of a semiconductor body 10. Trenched field-shaping regions (40) including a resistive path (42) extend through the voltage-sustaining zone (20) to the underlying second region (22), so as to enhance the breakdown voltage of the device. The voltage-sustaining zone (20) and the trenched field-shaping regions (40) are present in both the active device area (A) and in the peripheral area (P) of the device. A further resistive path (53) extends across the first surface (11), outwardly over the peripheral area (P). This further resistive path (53) provides a potential divider that is connected to the respective resistive paths (42) of successive underlying trenched field-shaping regions (40) in the peripheral area (P). Thereby a gradual variation is achieved in the potential (V2) applied by the successive trenched field-shaping regions (40) in the peripheral area (P) of the voltage-sustaining zone (20). This advantageous peripheral termination reduces device susceptibility to deviations in the field profile in this peripheral area (P).

    摘要: A semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET or PN diode rectifier, has a p-n junction (24) between a first device region (23) and an underlying voltage-sustaining zone (20). Trenched field-shaping regions (40) extend through the voltage-sustaining zone (20) to improve the voltage-blocking and on-resistance characteristics of the device. The trenched field-shaping region (40) comprises a resistive path (42) accommodated in a trench (41) that has an insulating layer (44) at its side-walls. The insulating layer (44) dielectrically couples potential from the resistive path (42) to the voltage-sustaining zone (20) that is depleted in a voltage-blocking mode of operation of the device. The insulating layer (44) extends at the side-walls of the trench (41) to an upper level (81) that is higher than a lower level (82) at which the resistive path (42) starts in the trench (41). This lower level (82) is more closely aligned to the p-n junction (24) and is protected by the insulating layer (44) extending to the higher level (81). This construction enables the electric field distribution in the voltage-sustaining zone (20) to be improved by aligning very closely the start of the potential drop along the resistive path (42) with the p-n junction depth (d).

    摘要: A vertical semiconductor device, for example a trench-gate MOSFET power transistor (1), has a drift region (12) of one conductivity type containing spaced vertical columns (30) of the opposite conductivity type for charge compensation increase of the device breakdown voltage. Insulating material (31) is provided on the sidewalls only of trenches (20) in the drift region (12) and the opposite conductivity type material is epitaxially grown from the bottom of the trenches (20). The presence of the sidewall insulating material (31) reduces the possibility of defects during the epitaxial growth and hence excessive leakage currents in the device (1). The insulating material (31) also prevents epitaxial growth on the trench sidewalls and hence substantially prevents forming voids in the trenches which would lessen the accuracy of charge compensation. The epitaxial growth by this method can be well controlled and may be stopped at an upper level (21) below the top major surface (10a). Thus, for example, trench-gates 22, 23 may be formed in the same trenches (20) above the compensation columns (30).
