摘要： Semiconductor device fabrication method and devices are disclosed. A device may be fabricated by forming in a semiconductor layer; filling the trench with an insulating material; removing selected portions of the insulating material leaving a portion of the insulating material in a bottom portion of the trench; forming one or more spacers on one or more sidewalls of a remaining portion of the trench; anisotropically etching the insulating material in the bottom portion of the trench using the spacers as a mask to form a trench in the insulator; removing the spacers; and filling the trench in the insulator with a conductive material. Alternatively, an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) structure may be formed on a sidewall and at a bottom of the trench and one or more conductive structures may be formed in a portion of the trench not occupied by the ONO structure.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Aspects of the present disclosure describe a high density trench-based power MOSFET with self-aligned source contacts. The source contacts are self-aligned with a first insulative spacer and a second insulative spacer, wherein the first spacer is resistant to an etching process that will selectively remove the material the second spacer is made from. Additionally, the active devices may have a two-step gate oxide, wherein a lower portion of the gate oxide has a thickness T2 that is larger than the thickness T1 of an upper portion of the gate oxide. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

摘要： A high density trench-gated MOSFET array and method are disclosed. It comprises semiconductor substrate partitioned into MOSFET array area and gate pickup area; epitaxial region, body region and source region; numerous precisely spaced active nitride-capped trench gate stacks (ANCTGS) embedded till the epitaxial region. Each ANCTGS comprises a stack of polysilicon trench gate with gate oxide shell and silicon nitride cap covering top of polysilicon trench gate and laterally registered to gate oxide shell. The ANCTGS forms, together with the source, body, epitaxial region, a MOSFET device in the MOSFET array area. Over MOSFET array area and gate pickup area, a patterned dielectric region atop the MOSFET array and a patterned metal layer atop the patterned dielectric region. Thus, the patterned metal layer forms, with the MOSFET array and the gate pickup area, self-aligned source and body contacts through the inter-ANCTGS separations.
