Abstract:
A trench MOSFET (30) is formed in a structure which includes a P-type epitaxial layer (34) overlying an N+ substrate (32). An N-type dopant is implanted through the bottom of the trench (35) into the P-epitaxial layer to form a buried layer below the trench, and after a up-diffusion step a N drain-drift region (33) extends between the N+ substrate and the bottom of the trench. The result is a more controllable doping profile of the N-type dopant below the trench. The body region (34A) may also be formed by implanting P-type dopant into the epitaxial layer, in which case the background doping of the epitaxial layer may be either lightly doped P- or N-type. A MOSFET constructed in accordance with this invention can have a reduced threshold voltage and on-resistance and an increased punchthrough breakdown voltage.

Abstract:
A trench MOSFET (40) includes active corner regions (25) and a thick insulative layer (33) centrally located at the bottom of the trench (19). A thin gate insulative layer (15) lines the sidewall and peripheral portion of the bottom surface of the trench (19). A gate (14) fills the trench, adjacent to the thin insulative layer (15). The gate (14) is adjacent to the sides and top of the thick insulative layer (33). The thick insulative layer (33) separates the gate (14) from the drain conductive region (13) at the bottom of the trench (19) yielding a reduced gate-to-drain capacitance and making the MOSFET (40) particularly suitable for high frequency applications.
