    Abstract: A substrate for fabricating a MOSFET device includes a first epitaxial layer disposed on a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer is doped with a first dopant. A second epitaxial layer is disposed on the first epitaxial layer. An ion-implanted capping layer is disposed in the first epitaxial layer. The ion-implanted capping layer is doped with a second dopant. The first dopant has a diffusion coefficient in silicon higher than a diffusion coefficient of the second dopant in silicon. The ion-implanted capping layer is configured to limit up-diffusion of the first dopant from the silicon wafer into the second epitaxial layer.

    Abstract: A device has an active area made of an array of first type of device cells and a gate or shield contact area made of an array of a second type of device cells that are laid out at a wider pitch than the array of first type of device cells. Each device cell in the active area includes a trench that contains a gate electrode and an adjoining mesa that contains the drain, source, body, and channel regions of the device. The second type of device cell includes a trench that is wider than the trench in the first device cell, but a mesa of the second type of device cell has about the same width as the mesa of the first type of device cell. Having about the same width, the mesa in the second type of device cell in the contact area has similar breakdown characteristics as a mesa in the first type of device cell in the active area of the device.

    Abstract: A method includes defining a plurality of trenches of a first type that extend in a longitudinal direction in a semiconductor substrate, and defining a trench of a second type extending in a lateral direction and intersecting the plurality of trenches of the first type. The trench of the second type is in fluid communication with each of the intersected plurality of trenches of the first type. The method further includes disposing a shield poly layer in the plurality of trenches of the first type and the trench of the second type, disposing an inter-poly dielectric layer and a gate poly layer above the shield poly layer in the plurality of trenches of the first type and the trench of the second type, and forming an electrical contact to the shield poly layer through an opening in the inter-poly dielectric layer and the gate poly layer disposed in the trench of the second type.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a substrate including an underlying doped region and a semiconductor layer overlying the substrate. A trench can have a sidewall and extend at least partly through the semiconductor layer. The electronic device can further include a first conductive structure adjacent to the underlying doped region, an insulating layer, and a second conductive structure within the trench. The insulating layer can be disposed between the first and second conductive structures, and the first conductive structure can be disposed between the insulating layer and the underlying doped region. Processes of forming the electronic device may be performed such that the first conductive structure includes a conductive fill material or a doped region within the semiconductor layer. The first conductive structure can allow the underlying doped region to be farther from the channel region and allow RDSON to be lower for a given BVDSS.
