  • Patent number: 7518183
    Abstract: Heightening of breakdown voltage of a trench gate type power MISFET is actualized without increasing the number of manufacturing steps. In the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the present invention, p? type semiconductor region and p? type field limiting rings are formed in a gate line area simultaneously in one impurity ion implantation step so as to bring them into contact with a groove having a gate extraction electrode formed therein. Upon formation, supposing that the width of the gate extraction electrode disposed outside the groove is CHSP, and the resistivity of the n? type single crystal silicon layer 1B is ? (?·cm) the CHSP is sets to satisfy the following equation: CHSP?3.80+0.148?.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device wherein an avalanche withstand of power MISFET is improved without enlarging cell pitch. In the semiconductor device, impurity ions having a p-type conduction, e.g. B ions, are introduced from a bottom of a contact hole to form a p-type semiconductive region that is provided below a p+-type semiconductive region and in contact with the p+-type semiconductive region and an n?-type single crystal silicon layer and that has an impurity concentration lower than the p+-type semiconductive region. An n-type semiconductive region is formed in the n?-type single crystal silicon layer provided below the p-type semiconductive region as being in contact with the p-type semiconductive region and has an impurity concentration lower than the n?-type single crystal silicon layer.
