  • Patent number: 6781203
    Abstract: A vertical conduction MOSFET having a reduced on resistance RDSON as well as reduced threshold voltage Vth, and an improved resistance to punchthrough and walkout has an extremely shallow source diffusion, of less than 0.3 microns in depth and an extremely shallow channel diffusion, of less than about 3 microns in depth. In a P channel version, phosphorus is implanted into the bottom of a contact trench and into the channel region with an implant energy of 400 keV for a singly charged phosphorus ion or 200 keV for a doubly charged ion, thereby to prevent walkout of the threshold voltage.
