  • Patent number: 10269897
    Abstract: A power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device includes a first metal layer, a substrate, an epitaxy layer, a plurality of first trench wells, a plurality of second trench wells, a plurality of body structure layers, a plurality of polysilicon layers, and a second metal layer. A part of a depletion region is formed between each first trench well and the epitaxy layer and between a body structure layer corresponding to the each first trench well and the epitaxy layer, and a rest part of the depletion region is formed between a second trench well corresponding to the each first trench well and the epitaxy layer. The plurality of second trench wells increase a breakdown voltage of the power MOSFET device and reduce a conduction resistor of the power MOSFET device.
