摘要:
This invention discloses semiconductor power device disposed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. The semiconductor substrate supports an epitaxial layer of a second conductivity type thereon wherein the semiconductor power device is supported on a super-junction structure. The super-junction structure comprises a plurality of trenches opened from a top surface in the epitaxial layer; wherein each of the trenches having trench sidewalls covered with a first epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type to counter charge the epitaxial layer of the second conductivity type. A second epitaxial layer may be grown over the first epitaxial layer. Each of the trenches is filled with a non-doped dielectric material in a remaining trench gap space. Each of the trench sidewalls is opened with a tilted angle to form converging U-shaped trenches.

A method is disclosed for creating a semiconductor device structure with an oxide-filled large deep trench (OFLDT) portion having trench size TCS and trench depth TCD. A bulk semiconductor layer (BSL) is provided with a thickness BSLT>TCD. A large trench top area (LTTA) is mapped out atop BSL with its geometry equal to OFLDT. The LTTA is partitioned into interspersed, complementary interim areas ITA-A and ITA-B. Numerous interim vertical trenches of depth TCD are created into the top BSL surface by removing bulk semiconductor materials corresponding to ITA-B. The remaining bulk semiconductor materials corresponding to ITA-A are converted into oxide. If any residual space is still left between the so-converted ITA-A, the residual space is filled up with oxide deposition. Importantly, the geometry of all ITA-A and ITA-B should be configured simple and small enough to facilitate fast and efficient processes of oxide conversion and oxide filling.

Trench gate MOSFET devices may be formed using a single mask to define gate trenches and body contact trenches. A hard mask is formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A trench mask is applied on the hard mask to predefine a body contact trench and a gate trench. These predefined trenches are simultaneously etched into the substrate to a first predetermined depth. A gate trench mask is next applied on top of the hard mask. The gate trench mask covers the body contact trenches and has openings at the gate trenches. The gate trench, but not the body contact trench, is etched to a second predetermined depth. Conductive material of a first kind may fill the gate trench to form a gate. Conductive material of a second kind may fill the body contact trench to form a body contact.

This invention discloses a method for manufacturing a semiconductor power device on a semiconductor substrate supporting a . drift region composed of an epitaxial layer. The method includes a first step of growing a first epitaxial layer followed by forming a first hard mask layer on top of the epitaxial layer; a second step of applying a first implant mask to open a plurality of implant windows and applying a second implant mask for blocking some of the implant windows to implant a plurality of dopant regions of alternating conductivity types adjacent to each other in the first epitaxial layer; and a third step of repeating the first step and the second step by applying the same first and second implant masks to form a plurality of epitaxial layers, each of which is implanted with the dopant regions of the alternating conductivity types. Then the manufacturing processes proceed by carrying out a device manufacturing process on a top side of the epitaxial layer on top of the dopant regions of the alternating conductivity types with a diffusion process to merge the dopant regions of the alternating conductivity types as doped columns in the epitaxial layers.
