  • Patent number: 6396090
    Abstract: A termination structure for power trench MOS devices is disclosed. The MOS devices can be Schottky diode, IGBT or DMOS depending on what kinds of the semiconductor substrate are prepared. The termination structure comprises: a semiconductor substrate having a trench formed therein; a spacer-like MOS gate formed on a sidewall of the trench; a termination structure oxide layer formed in the trench to cover a portion of the spacer-like MOS gate and to cover a bottom of the trench; and a first electrode and a second electrode are, respectively, formed on a bottom surface and upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The trench is formed from a boundary of the active region to an edge of the semiconductor substrate. The trench MOS devices are formed in the active region. In addition for IGBT and DMOS, the second electrode is isolated from MOS gate by an oxide layer; however, for Schottky diode, the second electrode is directed contact to the MOS gate.

  • Patent number: 6291316
    Abstract: A wafer-level process for fabricating a plurality of passivated semiconductor devices comprising the steps of providing a semiconductor wafer on that at least one p-n junction is formed, Cutting a plurality of grooves in said wafer to expose said at least one p-n junction, wherein each of said grooves extends partly through the wafer and has a depth that is enough to expose said at least one p-n junction, applying a passivating material into said grooves and curing the material. The grooves can be formed by using a disc saw having a blade, by performing a sandblasting operation within a controlled operation time, or by performing a photolithographically chemical etching process. The passivating material is either screen-printed or pin-dispensed into the grooves. A dicing operation can be subsequently proceeded to divide the wafer into individual chips for subsequent fabrication into completed semiconductor devices.
