Method of manufacturing a trench MOSFET using selective growth epitaxy

摘要

A method of creating a thermally grown oxide of any thickness at the bottom of a silicon trench. A dielectric (e.g. oxide) pillar of a predetermined thickness is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process is used to form an epitaxial layer around and over the oxide pillars. A trench is patterned and etched through the SEG layer and in alignment with the oxide pillar such that the trench terminates at the top of the oxide pillar.
