  • Patent number: 7994001
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a trenched power semiconductor structure with a schottky diode is provided. Firstly, a drain region is formed in a substrate. Next, at least two gate structures are formed above the drain region, and then, a body and at least a source region are formed between the two adjacent gate structures. Thereafter, a first dielectric structure is formed on the gate structure to shield the gate structure. Then, a contact window is formed in the body and has side surface thereof adjacent to the source region to expose the source region. Afterward, a second dielectric structure is formed in the contact window. Next, by using the second dielectric structure as an etching mask, the body is etched to form a narrow trench extending to the drain region below the body. Finally, a metal layer is filled into the contact window and the narrow trench.

  • Publication number: 20100244109
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a trenched metal-oxide-semiconductor device is provided. After the formation of the gate dielectric layer, a first poly-silicon layer is deposited along the profile of the gate trench. Then, impurities of first conductivity type are implanted to the first poly-silicon layer at the bottom of the gate trench. Then, a second poly-silicon layer with second conductivity type is deposited over the first poly-silicon layer. The impurities in the first poly-silicon layer and the second poly-silicon layer are then driven by an annealing step to form a first doping region with first conductivity type located at the bottom of the gate trench and a second doping region with second conductivity type.
