Hirobumi Matsuki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7400007
    Abstract: A power MOSFET includes an n-type drift layer and a p-type base layer formed in a layered manner on the n-type drift layer. Trench gates are formed to penetrate the p-type base layer to reach the n-type drift layer. On the p-type base layer, n+-type source regions and p+-type regions are formed. These n+-type source regions and p+-type regions are arranged alternately along a longitudinal direction of the trench gates. The n+-type source regions and the p+-type regions are arranged with a slant with respect to the longitudinal direction of the trench gates.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6919249
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type (2), a base region (3) formed proximal to the semiconductor layer, a source region (4) selectively placed over the base region, trenches (T), a gate insulating layer (7) and a gate electrode (6) provided on an inner wall of each of the trenches, and a source electrode (9) connected to the source region. The source region is higher in impurity concentration in a contact (4a) with the source electrode than in a contact with the gate insulating layer, and it is also higher in impurity concentration in the contact (4a) with the source electrode than in a contact with the base region.
