Patent number: 8426275Abstract: A fabrication method of a trenched power MOSFET is provided. A pattern layer having a first opening is formed on a substrate. A portion of the substrate is removed, using the pattern layer as a mask, to form a trench in the substrate. A width of the trench is expanded. A gate oxide layer is formed on a surface of the trench. A portion of the gate oxide layer on a bottom of the trench is removed, using the pattern layer as a mask, to form a second opening in the gate oxide layer. The width of the expanded trench is greater than that of the second opening. A thick oxide layer is formed in the second opening. Heavily doped regions are formed beside the thick oxide layer. A gate is formed in the trench. A body layer surrounding the trench is formed. Sources are formed beside the trench.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Niko Semiconductor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kou-Way Tu, Hsiu-Wen Hsu, Yi-Yun Tsai, Yuan-Shun Chang

Patent number: 8247868Abstract: A power MOSFET is disclosed. In the power MOSFET, an epitaxial layer doped with dopants of a first conduction type is formed on a substrate. A first trench extends downward from a first region of the top surface of the epitaxial layer, and a second trench extends downward from the bottom of the first trench. The width of the second trench is smaller than that of the first trench. The first well is located adjacent to the bottom of the first trench and the bottom of the second trench, and is doped with dopants of a second conduction type. The second well extends downward from a second region of the top surface and is doped with dopants of the second conduction type. The first well and the second well are separated. A source region doped with dopants of the first conduction type is formed in the second well.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Niko Semiconductor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kou-Way Tu
