  • Patent number: 7867854
    Abstract: Wider and narrower trenches are formed in a substrate. A first gate material layer is deposited but not fully fills the wider trench. The first gate material layer in the wider trench and above the substrate original surface is removed by isotropic or anisotropic etching back. A first dopant layer is formed in the surface layer of the substrate at the original surface and the sidewall and bottom of the wider trench by tilt ion implantation. A second gate material layer is deposited to fully fill the trenches. The gate material layer above the original surface is removed by anisotropic etching back. A second dopant layer is formed in the surface layer of the substrate at the original surface by ion implantation. The dopants are driven-in to form a base in the substrate and a bottom-lightly-doped layer surrounding the bottom of the wider trench and adjacent to the base.

  • Publication number: 20100301386
    Abstract: An integrated structure of an IGBT and a diode includes a plurality of doped cathode regions, and a method of forming the same is provided. The doped cathode regions are stacked in a semiconductor substrate, overlapping and contacting with each other. As compared with other doped cathode regions, the higher a doped cathode region is disposed, the larger implantation area the doped cathode region has. The doped cathode regions and the semiconductor substrate have different conductive types, and are applied as a cathode of the diode and a collector of the IGBT. The stacked doped cathode regions can increase the thinness of the cathode, and prevent the wafer from being overly thinned and broken.
