Trench MOSFETs and self aligned processes for fabricating trench MOSFETs. These processes produce a higher density of trenches per unit area than can be obtained using prior art masking techniques. The invention self aligns all processing steps (implants, etches, depositions, etc.) to a single mask, thus reducing the pitch of the trenches by the added distances required for multiple masking photolithographic tolerances. The invention also places the source regions and contacts within the side walls of the trenches, thus eliminating the lateral dimensions required, for masking and source depositions or implants from the top surface, from the pitch of the trenches. Various embodiments are disclosed. |
