METHOD OF MAKING AN INSULATED GATE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH SOURCE-SUBSTRATE CONNECTION AND STRUCTURE

摘要

In one embodiment, a source-down vertical insulated gate field effect transistor includes a source contact that is buried within a trench gate structure. Dopant of a first conductivity type is diffused from the conductive source contact into an adjacent semiconductor layer that has a second and opposite conductivity type to form source regions. A self-aligned metal contact is formed within the trench gate structure to short the source contact and the source regions to an underlying substrate.
