Vertical power component manufacturing method

摘要

A method for manufacturing a vertical power component on a silicon wafer, including the steps of growing a lightly-doped epitaxial layer of a second conductivity type on the upper surface of a heavily-doped substrate of a first conductivity type, the epitaxial layer having a thickness adapted to withstanding the maximum voltage likely to be applied to the power component during its operation; and delimiting in the wafer an area corresponding to at least one power component by an isolating wall formed by etching a trench through the epitaxial layer and diffusing from this trench a dopant of the first conductivity type of high doping level.
