    摘要: A power MOSFET includes a trenched gate which defines a plurality of MOSFET cells. A protective diffusion is created, preferably in an inactive cell, so as to form a diode that is connected in parallel with the channel region in each of the MOSFET cells. The protective diffusion, which replaces the deep central diffusion taught in U.S. Pat. No. 5,072,266, prevents impact ionization and the resulting generation of carriers near the corners of the gate trench, which can damage or rupture the gate oxide layer. Moreover, the diode can be designed to have a breakdown voltage which limits the strength of the electric field across the gate oxide layer. The elimination of a deep central diffusion permits an increase in cell density and improves the on-resistance of the MOSFET. Specifications for a number of commercially acceptable devices are given.

    摘要: A MOSFET switch with a gate formed in a trench has a drain which includes a region of relatively high resistivity adjacent the trench and a region of relatively low resistivity further away from the trench. The drain may also include a "delta" layer having even lower resistivity in a central region of the MOSFET cell. The high resistivity region limits the strength of the electric field at the edge of the trench (particularly where there are any sharp corners) and thereby avoids damage to the gate oxide layer. The central "delta" layer helps to insure that any breakdown will occur near the center of the MOSFET cell, away from the gate oxide, and to lower the resistance of the MOSFET when it is in an on condition.

    摘要: The a trench semiconductor device such as a power MOSFET the high electric field at the corner of the trench is diminished by increasing the thickness of the gate oxide layer at the bottom of the trench. Several processes for manufacturing such devices are described. In one group of processes a directional deposition of silicon oxide is performed after the trench has been etched, yielding a thick oxide layer at the bottom of the trench. Any oxide which deposits on the walls of the trench is removed before a thin gate oxide layer is grown on the walls. The trench is then filled with polysilicon in or more stages. In a variation of the process a small amount of photoresist is deposited on the oxide at the bottom of the trench before the walls of the trench are etched. Alternatively, polysilicon can be deposited in the trench and etched back until only a portion remains at the bottom of the trench. The polysilicon is then oxidized and the trench is refilled with polysilicon. The processes can be combined, with a directional deposition of oxide being followed by a filling and oxidation of polysilicon. A process of forming a “keyhole” shaped gate electrode includes depositing polysilicon at the bottom of the trench, oxidizing the top surface of the polysilicon, etching the oxidized polysilicon, and filling the trench with polysilicon.

    摘要: One or more diodes are connected in a conductive path between the source and gate of a vertical MOSFET to prevent the voltage between the gate and source from exceeding a predetermined level and thereby protect the gate oxide layer from damage. The diodes are formed in the same polysilicon layer that is used to form the gate of the MOSFET, by implanting N and P-type dopants into the layer. To minimize the number of additional processing steps required, at least one of these implants is performed simultaneously with the implanting of the source or body of the MOSFET. As an additional aspect of the invention, the metal contact to the source and body regions in a vertical planar DMOSFET is formed by fabricating a sidewall spacer on the gate of the MOSFET. With the metal contact self-aligned to the gate in this way, the lateral dimension of each of the cells in the DMOSFET can be significantly reduced without the risk of a short between the contact and the gate, and the packing density of the cells can be increased. In this way, significant reductions in the on-resistance of the device can be achieved.
