Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to figure 2A cross-sectional view of an N-channel source-grounded inverted trench FET device with bottom-source-top-drain (ie, source at the bottom and drain at the top) of the present invention. The N-channel inverted trench FET device with its source grounded is supported on a P+ substrate 105 which functions as a bottom source. The alternative is to form P-channel devices on N+ Si substrates, or use silicon carbide, gallium nitride (GaN) or other semiconductor substrates. A P epitaxial growth layer 110 is formed on top of the substrate 105 . The active unit area is configured on the substrate, and the termination area is usually arranged on the periphery of the substrate. The FET device 100 has a plurality of trenches opening on the top surface of the substrate, which reach as deep as the lower portion of the epitaxial growth layer 110 . The trench opened on the active cell area is wider to form a gate, and the sidewall of the trench to which the gate polys...

Abstract

The invention discloses a field-effect transistor (MOSFET) which adopts a conduction base of a heavy base, a reverse groove and a grounding source electrode, wherein a trench gate composed by the transistor is surrounded by a source electrode region and a body region below a drain region, and a source electrode is arranged on the bottom surface of the base. The MOSFET further comprises a shaded gate trench (SGT) structure which is arranged on the lower portion of the trench gate, and is insulated with the trench gate. The SGT actually forms a round hole whose transverse stretching degree exceeds the trench gate, and is covered by a layering of dielectric, which is filled with trench gate material. The round hole is formed by isotropic etching on the bottom of the trench gate, and is insulated with the trench gate by an oxide insulating layer. The transverse stretching degree of the round hole exceeds the trench walls, thereby playing the role of vertically arranging guide posts to control the depth of the trench gate. The decrease of the capacitor (Cgd) from the gate of the MOSFET to the drain depends on the controllable depth of the trench gate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor power device, in particular to a reverse trench and source grounded field effect transistor (FET) structure comprising a conductive substrate using a heavily doped P+ substrate. Background technique [0002] For semiconductor power devices including FETs, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) and junction field effect transistors (JFETs) that contain source inductance, conventional technologies face some technical difficulties and limitations in further reducing their source inductance. In particular, those skilled in the art face technical challenges to reduce the source inductance. At the same time, since more and more power device applications require these devices to have high efficiency, high gain, and high-frequency capabilities, these growing demands for semiconductor power devices require reducing their source inductance. In general, source inductance can be reduced by eli...
