Semiconductor device design and process

摘要

A method for fabricating a gate-source structure for a recessed-gate static induction transistor. Source impurities are implanted prior to forming the recessed gates. The recessed gates are formed by a first isotropic etching step and a second anisotropic etching step which results in a unique overhanging protective layer used to protect the walls of the grooves during implantation of gate impurities in the bottom of the grooves. Implantations are driven and activated to form gate and source regions, the protective layer is removed and metal deposited to form electrodes. The procedure minimizes the required number of masking steps and associated mask registration problems.
