METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DMOS TRANSISTOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a DMOS transistor structure. The invention is advantageous in that a protective layer (14) is used to protect the already essentially completed DMOS transistor structure from the negative effects of additional process steps. According to the invention, the DMOS gate electrode is not customarily structured, as in the prior art, by using a single lithography step, rather the structuring of the DMOS gate electrode is split between two lithography steps. In a first lithography step, essentially only the source region (9) of the DMOS transistor structure is opened, whereby the electrode layer still present can be used as a mask for the subsequent production of the body region (8).
