Trench MOS transistor and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

Trench portions (10) are formed in a well (5) in order to provide unevenness in the well (5). A gate electrode (2) is formed via an insulating film (7) on the upper surface and inside of the trench portions (10). A source region (3) is formed on one side of the gate electrode (2) in a gate length direction while a drain region (4) on another side. Both of the source region (3) and the drain region (4) are formed down to near the bottom portion of the gate electrode (2). By deeply forming the source region (3) and the drain region (4), current uniformly flows through the whole trench portions (10), and the unevenness formed in the well (5) increases the effective gate width to decrease the on-resistance of a semiconductor device 1 and to enhance the drivability thereof.

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate; a well of a first conductivity type which is formed on the semiconductor substrate, the well having a concave portion formed therein with varying depth in a gate width direction, a first flat portion extending away laterally from the concave portion in a first direction, and a second flat portion extending away from the concave portion in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; a gate electrode formed on an upper surface and inside of the concave portion via an insulating film, the gate electrode filling all of the concave portion; a source region of a second conductivity type disposed on one side of the gate electrode and on the first flat portion, wherein the first flat portion is at least as deep into the well as a bottom surface of the gate electrode relative to an uppermost portion of the well, and wherein all of the source region has a uniform thickness in a longitudinal direction and a flat surface in a lateral direction; and a drain region of the second conductivity type disposed on another side of the gate electrode and on the second flat portion, wherein the second flat portion is at least as deep into the well as he bottom surface of the gate electrode relative to the uppermost portion of the well. and wherein all of the drain region having a uniform thickness in the longitudinal direction and a flat surface in the lateral direction.
