Abstract: First polysilicon (poly-1) is deposited into deep trenches that have been formed in a substrate. A first polysilicon polishing process is performed to planarize the exposed surfaces of the poly-1 so that the surfaces are flush with adjacent surfaces. Then, shallow trenches are formed in the substrate between the deep trenches, and second polysilicon (poly-2) is deposited into the shallow trenches. A second polysilicon polishing process is performed to planarize the exposed surface of the poly-2 so that the surface is flush with adjacent surfaces. Metal contacts to the poly-1 and the poly-2 are then formed.

Abstract: Remote contacts to the polysilicon regions of a trench metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) barrier Schottky (TMBS) device, as well as to the polysilicon regions of a MOS field effect transistor (MOSFET) section and of a TMBS section in a monolithically integrated TMBS and MOSFET (SKYFET) device, are employed. The polysilicon is recessed relative to adjacent mesas. Contact of the source metal to the polysilicon regions of the TMBS section is made through an extension of the polysilicon to outside the active region of the TMBS section. This change in the device architecture relieves the need to remove all of the oxides from both the polysilicon and silicon mesa regions of the TMBS section prior to the contact step. As a consequence, encroachment of contact metal into the sidewalls of the trenches in a TMBS device, or in a SKYFET device, is avoided.

Abstract: The invention discloses a manufacture method and structure of a power transistor, comprising a lower electrode, a substrate, a drift region, two first conductive regions, two second conductive regions, two gate units, an isolation structure and an upper electrode. The two second conductive region are between the two first conductive regions and the drift region; the two gate units are on the two second conductive regions; the isolation structure covers the two gate units; the upper electrode covers the isolation structure and connects to the two first conductive regions and the two second conductive regions electrically. When the substrate is of the first conductive type, the structure can be used as MOSFET. When the substrate is of the second conductive type, the structure can be used as IGBT. This structure has a small gate electrode area, which leads to less Qg, Qgd and Rdson and improves device performance.

Abstract: This invention discloses a specific superjunction MOSFET structure and its fabrication process. Such structure includes: a drain, a substrate, an EPI, a source, a side-wall isolation structure, a gate, a gate isolation layer and source. There is an isolation layer inside the active area underneath the source. Along the side-wall of this isolation layer, a buffer layer with same doping type as body can be introduced & source can be extended down too to form field plate. Such buffer layer & field plate can make the EPI doping much higher than convention device which results in lower Rdson, better performance, shorter gate so that to reduce both gate charge Qg and gate-to-drain charge Qgd. The process to make such structure is simpler and more cost effective.

Abstract: In a trench MOSFET, the lower portion of the trench contains a buried source electrode, which is insulated from the epitaxial layer and semiconductor substrate but in electrical contact with the source region. When the MOSFET is in an “off” condition, the bias of the buried source electrode causes the “drift” region of the mesa to become depleted, enhancing the ability of the MOSFET to block current. The doping concentration of the drift region can therefore be increased, reducing the on-resistance of the MOSFET. The buried source electrode also reduces the gate-to-drain capacitance of the MOSFET, improving the ability of the MOSFET to operate at high frequencies. The substrate may advantageously include a plurality of annular trenches separated by annular mesas and a gate metal layer that extends outward from a central region in a plurality of gate metal legs separated by source metal regions.
