Abstract:
An electronic power device of improved structure is fabricated with MOS technology to have a gate finger region and corresponding source regions on either sides of the gate region. This device has a first-level metal layer arranged to independently contact the gate region and source regions, and has a protective passivation layer arranged to cover the gate region. Advantageously, a wettable metal layer, deposited onto the passivation layer and the first-level metal layer, overlies said source regions. In this way, the additional wettable metal layer is made to act as a second-level metal.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an electronic structure, which structure comprises a first power device and a second unidirectional device, both integrated in the same protective package. The first device having at least first and second electrodes of the first device, with said first electrode of the first device being attached to the package. The second device having first and second electrodes of the second device, wherein the first electrode of the second device is superposed on the second electrode of the first device and connected electrically to the second electrode of the first device.
