Abstract
A dual gate trench power device comprises a first MOSFET integrated with a super barrier rectifier (SBR) or with a second MOSFET in each unit cell having a shielded gate electrode in a one-step gate trench. The one-step gate trench comprising a top gate trench with a narrower trench width than a bottom gate trench for the unit cell pitch shrinkage. Specific on-resistance and reverse recovery time are thus reduced with the improved structures.
Claims20
A power device having two types of gate trenches in each unit cell comprising:
- an epitaxial layer of a first conductivity type grown on a substrate;
- a first body region of a second conductivity type having a first source region of said first conductivity type thereon;
- a first type gate trench penetrating said first body region and said first source region and stopping in said epitaxial layer;
- a first gate electrode disposed in said first type gate trench and surrounded with a first gate oxide along sidewalls of said first type gate trench;
- a first channel region of a first MOSFET formed in said first body region along sidewalls of said first type gate trench connecting to said first source region;
- a second type gate trench formed in said epitaxial layer has one-step gate trench structure comprising a second top gate trench and a second bottom gate trench, wherein said second top gate trench is above said second bottom gate trench and has a trench width less than that of said second bottom gate trench;
- and said second type gate trench has a trench depth deeper than that of said first type gate trench;
- and
- a first shielded gate electrode disposed in at least said second bottom gate trench surrounded with a first insulating film on a bottom region and along sidewalls of said second bottom gate trench;
- said first insulating film having a thickness greater than that of said first gate oxide;
- said first body and said first source regions, and said shielded gate electrode being shorted to a source metal through source contact trenches and a shielded gate contact trench respectively.
