  • Patent number: 6551881
    Abstract: A self-aligned dual-oxide UMOSFET device and a method for fabricating the same which includes a gate in the trench which self-aligns the channel body doping region and its associated body-drift region junction, the region for depositing the gate insulating layer, and the depth of ledge for the field layer step for a sidewall of a trench using a multiple-energy large angle tilt implant (LATid) technique. One of the energy levels of the LATid technique is optimized to damage a top silicon nitride layer of the LOCOS mask. The other energy levels of the LATid technique are for the formation of the channel body region in substrate mesas adjacent the trench. Implantation occurs using the same tilt angle for the implantation of the channel dopant at the multiple-energy levels.
