PLANAR SPLIT-GATE HIGH-PERFORMANCE MOSFET STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD
摘要
This invention discloses an improved semiconductor power device includes a plurality of power transistor cells wherein each cell further includes a planar gate padded by a gate oxide layer disposed on top of a drift layer constituting an upper layer of a semiconductor substrate wherein the planar gate further constituting a split gate including a gap opened in a gate layer whereby the a total surface area of the gate is reduced. The transistor cell further includes a JFET (junction field effect transistor) diffusion region disposed in the drift layer below the gap of the gate layer wherein the JFET diffusion region having a higher dopant concentration than the drift region for reducing a channel resistance of the semiconductor power device. The transistor cell further includes a shallow surface doped regions disposed near a top surface of the drift layer under the gate adjacent to the JFET diffusion region wherein the shallow surface doped region having a dopant concentration lower than the JFET diffusion region and higher than the drift layer.
