The gate dielectric layer 130 is formed on the sidewall and bottom of the groove of the N-type drift layer 124, and on the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127, and the gate dielectric layer 130 wraps the gate polysilicon layer 131, and the gate polysilicon layer 131 is a T-shaped structure, and the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 extends deep into the space between the adjacent first P column 121 and the second P column 122. The source layer 132 is formed on the first N-type source region 126 , the second N-type source region 128 , the first P-type base region 125 , the second P-type base region 127 and a portion of the gate dielectric layer 130 ; the drain layer 133 is formed on the back side of the N-type substrate 110 .
[0053] In this embodiment, a gate dielectric layer 130 is formed on the sidewalls of the groove, the bottom of the groove, the first P-type base region 125, and the second P-type base region 127 of the N-type drift layer 124, and the gate dielectric layer 130 wraps the gate polysilicon layer 131, the gate polysilicon layer 131 is a T-shaped structure, and the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 extends deep into the adjacent first P column 121 and the second P column 122, the N-type drift layer 124 is a concave structure, and a portion of the N-type drift layer 124 is provided between the first P-type base region 125 and the gate polysilicon layer 131.

[0056]
[0057] In some embodiments, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is disposed opposite to a portion of the first P-pillar 121 and the second P-pillar 122 .
[0058] In the present embodiment, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 penetrates into the N-type drift layer 124, and a part of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is located between the first P column 121 and the second P column 122. Such a design can avoid the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 being directly opposite to each other, and the current of the drain layer 133 can enter the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 respectively through the two side portions of the N-type drift layer 124, thereby forming an electron current high-speed channel in the N-type drift layer 124, and the electron current density in the JFET region is greatly improved, thereby successfully eliminating the JFET effect, increasing the drain saturation current of the device, and solving the problem of the JFET effect existing in the traditional planar SJ MOS.
[0059] In some embodiments, the length of a portion of the first P column 121 that is disposed opposite to the gate polysilicon layer 131 is 1%-10% of the length of the first P column 121 .
[0060] In this embodiment, a partial area of the first P-pillar 121 is arranged opposite to the top area of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131. By setting the length of the partial area where the first P-pillar 121 and the gate polysilicon layer 131 are arranged opposite to each other to be 1%-10% of the length of the first P-pillar 121, it is possible to avoid the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 being opposite to each other, and to avoid the problem of a decrease in breakdown voltage due to the excessive length of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131.
[0061] In some embodiments, the length of a portion of the second P column 122 disposed opposite to the gate polysilicon layer 131 is 1%-10% of the length of the second P column 122 .
[0062] In this embodiment, a partial area of the second P-column 122 is arranged opposite to the top area of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131. By setting the length of the partial area of the second P-column 122 that is arranged opposite to the gate polysilicon layer 131 to 1%-10% of the length of the first P-column 121, it is possible to avoid the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 being opposite to each other, and to avoid the problem of a decrease in breakdown voltage due to the length of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 being too long.
[0063] In some embodiments, the distance between the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 and the first and second P-type base regions 125 and 127 is greater than one tenth of the width of the N-type drift layer 124 and less than one quarter of the width of the N-type drift layer 124 .
[0064] In this embodiment, a side portion of the N-type drift layer 124 is provided between the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 and the first P-type base region 125 , and another side portion of the N-type drift layer 124 is provided between the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 and the second P-type base region 127 , and the current of the drain layer 133 can flow to the source layer 132 via the two side portions of the N-type drift layer 124 .
[0065] In some embodiments, the widths of the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 gradually increase in a direction from the drain layer 133 to the source layer 132 .
[0066] Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of output characteristic simulation of a conventional planar super junction MOSFET and a T-type gate planar super junction MOSFET in an embodiment of the present application, wherein curve 1 represents the output characteristic curve of the T-type gate planar super junction MOSFET in an embodiment of the present application, and curve 2 represents the output characteristic curve of the conventional planar super junction MOSFET. Figure 3 The horizontal axis is the source-drain voltage VDS, and the vertical axis is the source-drain current IDS. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the on-resistance (Ron) of the T-type gate planar superjunction MOSFET decreases by 22%. Since the drift region in the N-type drift layer 124 is not changed, the decrease in on-resistance is entirely due to the decrease in JFET resistance. The saturated drain current (I Dsat ) increased by 57%, which is due to the decrease in on-resistance (Ron). The high-speed electron current channel of the T-gate also increases the current density in the drift region, so the saturation drain current (I Dsat ) has been greatly improved.

Curve 3 is a curve of the breakdown voltage of the T-type gate planar super junction MOSFET in an embodiment of the present application.

Figure 4 As shown in Table 1, compared with the traditional planar super junction MOSFET, the breakdown voltage of the T-gate planar super junction MOSFET in the embodiment of the present application is slightly reduced, and the change rate of the breakdown voltage is less than 1%, which will not affect the normal use of the device.

It is used in high-voltage and high-current application scenarios, and is expected to greatly expand the application range of the planar super junction MOSFET.
[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 As shown, the width of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 gradually decreases in the direction from the drain layer 133 to the source layer 132 .
[0072] In this embodiment, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is gradually reduced in the direction from the drain layer 133 to the source layer 132, so that the bottom area of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 begins to gradually widen until the horizontal portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 reaches the minimum width at the interface position with the horizontal portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131. With such a design, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is related to the depth of the drift region where it is located, and is matched with the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 on both sides of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131, so as to avoid a large sudden change in the electron current density in the electron current high-speed channel, reduce the negative effect of the increase in the electron current density, ensure the stability of the device, and help eliminate the JEFT effect in the device and increase the saturation current of the device.
[0073] In some embodiments, the gate polysilicon layer 131 has a trapezoidal structure.

[0082] In step S200 , a first P column 121 , an N-type drift layer 124 , and a second P column 122 are formed in a partial area of the N-type drift region by using trenching and epitaxial processes.
[0083] In this embodiment, combined with Fig.11 As shown, deep grooves are formed by etching the two side areas of the N-type drift region, and then P-type semiconductor materials are epitaxially grown in the deep grooves to form a first P column 121 and a second P column 122 respectively, and the N-type drift layer 124 is located between the first P column 121 and the second P column 122.
[0084] In some embodiments, the widths of the N-type drift layer 124 , the first P column 121 , and the second P column 122 are the same.
[0085] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the P-type doping ions in the first P column 121 and the second P column 122 may be 1e 15 ~1e 17 cm -3 .

[0090] In this embodiment, combined with Fig.13 As shown, N-type dopant ions are implanted into a portion of the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 to form a first N-type source region 126 and a second N-type source region 128. The doping concentration of the N-type dopant ions in the first N-type source region 126 and the second N-type source region 128 is 1e 19 ~5e 20 cm -3 .
[0091] In step S500 , a groove is formed by etching on the N-type drift layer 124 , and a gate oxide material is epitaxially grown to form a gate dielectric layer 130 ; wherein the gate dielectric layer 130 is formed on the groove sidewalls, the groove bottom, the first P-type base region 125 , and the second P-type base region 127 of the N-type drift layer 124 .
[0092] In this embodiment, combined with Fig.14 As shown, a groove is etched on the N-type drift layer 124, the width of the groove is 0.1-1 um, the depth of the groove is 1-4 um, and the width of the entire device is 8-16 um. Fig.15 As shown, a groove is formed by etching on the N-type drift layer 124 between the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 , and then a gate oxide material is epitaxially grown to form a gate dielectric layer 130 covering the groove sidewalls and bottom of the N-type drift layer 124 and the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 .
[0093] In some embodiments, the thickness of the gate dielectric layer 130 is 50-100 nm.

[0095] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1As shown, after forming a gate dielectric layer 130 at the bottom and sidewall of the groove on the N-type drift layer 124, polysilicon material is deposited on the gate dielectric layer 130 to form a gate polysilicon layer 131. The polysilicon material is located on the groove of the N-type drift layer 124, the first P-type base region 125, and the second P-type base region 127, so that the gate polysilicon layer 131 is a T-shaped structure, and the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 extends deep into the space between the adjacent first P column 121 and the second P column 122. Figure 1 As shown, after depositing the polysilicon material, the polysilicon material on the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 and the gate dielectric layer 130 are etched, and then the gate oxide material is epitaxially grown so that the gate dielectric layer 130 can wrap the gate polysilicon layer 131 .

[0099] In this embodiment, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is gradually reduced in the direction from the drain layer 133 to the source layer 132, so that the bottom area of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 begins to gradually widen until the horizontal portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 reaches the minimum width at the interface position with the horizontal portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131. With such a design, the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131 is related to the depth of the drift region where it is located, and is matched with the first P-type base region 125 and the second P-type base region 127 on both sides of the vertical portion of the gate polysilicon layer 131, so as to avoid a large sudden change in the electron current density in the electron current high-speed channel, reduce the negative effect of the increase in the electron current density, ensure the stability of the device, and help eliminate the JEFT effect in the device and increase the saturation current of the device.
[0100] In some embodiments, the gate polysilicon layer 131 has a trapezoidal structure.
[0101] In step S700 , a source layer 132 is formed on the first N-type source region 126 , the second N-type source region 128 , the first P-type base region 125 , the second P-type base region 127 and a portion of the gate dielectric layer 130 , and a drain layer 133 is formed on the back side of the N-type substrate 110 .
[0102] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 1 As shown, electrode material is deposited on and on both sides of the gate dielectric layer 130 to form a source layer 132, and the source layer 132 is in contact with the first N-type source region 126, the second N-type source region 128, the first P-type base region 125, the second P-type base region 127, and a portion of the gate dielectric layer 130. An electrode material is deposited on the back side of the N-type substrate 110 to form a drain layer 133.
