  • Publication number: 20160190264
    Abstract: A trench power MOSFET and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The gate of the trench power MOSFET includes an upper doped region, a lower doped region and a middle region interposed therebetween. The upper has a conductive type reverse to that of the lower doped region, and the middle region is an intrinsic or lightly-doped region to form a PIN, P+/N? or N+/P? junction.

The current block reflecting layer includes a Bragg reflector (DBR) structure, which allows the current block reflecting layer to reflect an excited light from the light emitting layer. Thus, the excited light emitted towards the P-type electrode is provided with a higher reflection rate and is again reflected by the reflecting layer. The excited light takes exit via regions without the N-type electrode and the P-type electrode after several reflections, thereby enhancing light extraction efficiency of the LED.
