On the other hand, the extension of the first gate electrode 114 makes the gate electrode and the The overlapping area of ​​the drift region 102 becomes larger, which will lead to the gate-drain parasitic capacitance C of the LDMOS device gd The increase of the device will cause the switching speed of the device to slow down and the switching power to increase.

Abstract

The invention provides a power semiconductor device with improved hot carrier injection. A drain field plate is introduced at the drain side in a dielectric groove, connected to the drain electrode, and has the same potential, thereby improving the hole injection effect on the drain side of the dielectric groove; A shielding grid field plate is introduced on the source side of the dielectric tank, and is connected to the source electrode or ground to form a shielding grid, which reduces the gate-drain parasitic capacitance C. gd At the same time, the electron injection effect on the source side of the dielectric trench is improved; the hot carrier injection can also be improved by making the carriers avoid the sidewall of the dielectric trench on the path by means of deep trench etching. The present invention provides a power semiconductor device structure with long-term reliability, low on-resistance, and fast switching speed for a power semiconductor device with a dielectric groove.
