    Abstract: A trenched power semiconductor device on a lightly doped substrate is provided. Firstly, a plurality of trenches including at least a gate trench and a contact window are formed on the lightly doped substrate. Then, at least two trench-bottom heavily doped regions are formed at the bottoms of the trenches. These trench-bottom heavily doped regions are then expanded to connect with each other by using thermal diffusion process so as to form a conductive path. Afterward, the gate structure and the well are formed above the trench-bottom heavily doped regions, and then a conductive structure is formed in the contact window to electrically connect the trench-bottom heavily doped regions to an electrode.
