[0060] Figure 1 The module structure of the nanosheet power device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown. For the sake of convenience, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown, which are detailed as follows:

[0061] The structure of the nanosheet power device includes a nanosheet stack 10 and a gate structure 40 .

[0062] The nanosheet stack portion 10 is H-shaped in the horizontal plane, including multiple sacrificial layers 20 and multiple nanosheet layers 30 arranged in parallel and alternating order; wherein, in the nanosheet layer 30, the first semiconductor type region 31, the second semiconductor type region 32, the third semiconductor type region 33 and the fourth semiconductor type region 34 are arranged in sequence along the lateral direction, and the second semiconductor type region 32 is located in the middle of the horizontal line position of the H shape; the nanosheet layer 30 also includes a fifth semiconductor type region 35, which is located at a concave corner position of the third semiconductor type region 33.

[0063] The region of the sacrificial layer 20 overlapping with the second semiconductor type region 32 in the vertical direction is hollowed out, and the gate structure 40 is arranged around the second semiconductor type region 32 in the hollowed-out region; wherein the fifth semiconductor type region 35 and the third semiconductor type region 33 are N-type region and P-type region respectively.

[0064] It is worth emphasizing that the fifth semiconductor type region 35 and the third semiconductor type region 33 form a super-junction structure.

It can be seen that after the fifth semiconductor type region 35 and the third semiconductor type region 33 form a super-junction structure, the electric field intensity at the junction of the third semiconductor type region 33 and the second semiconductor type region 32 (gate) is reduced during reverse bias operation, preventing the occurrence of avalanche effect, improving the reverse withstand voltage capability of the nanosheet power device, and making the nanosheet power device have the characteristics of low on-resistance, fast switching speed, small chip size, and low heat generation, thereby improving the reliability of the nanosheet power device.

[0067] By arranging the support part 50 between the extension and the two vertical lines of the H-shaped structure, the strength of the nanosheet power device is improved, and the reliability and convenience of use of the nanosheet power device are improved.

It should be noted that the first semiconductor type region 31 is the emitter of the nanosheet power device, the gate structure 40 is the gate of the nanosheet power device, the fourth semiconductor type region 34 is the collector of the nanosheet power device, and the third semiconductor type region 33 is the drift region of the nanosheet power device.

[0070] By way of example and not limitation, the first semiconductor type region 31 is a third N-type region 31, the second semiconductor type region 32 is a fourth P-type region 32, the third semiconductor type region 33 is a fourth N-type region 33, the fourth semiconductor type region 34 is a fifth N-type region 34, and the fifth semiconductor type region 35 is a fifth P-type region 35. It is noted that the first semiconductor type region 31 is a drain of the nanosheet power device, the gate structure 40 is a gate of the nanosheet power device, and the third semiconductor type region 33 and the fourth semiconductor type region 34 are sources of the nanosheet power device.

[0071] The third N-type region 31, the fourth P-type region 32, the fourth N-type region 33, the fifth N-type region 34 and the fifth P-type region 35 in the plurality of nanosheet layers 30 form an N-type VDMOS tube.

[0072] By way of example and not limitation, the first semiconductor type region 31 is a sixth P-type region 31, the second semiconductor type region 32 is a sixth N-type region 32, the third semiconductor type region 33 is a seventh P-type region 33, the fourth semiconductor type region 34 is an eighth P-type region 34, and the fifth semiconductor type region 35 is a seventh N-type region 35. It is noted that the first semiconductor type region 31 is a drain of the nanosheet power device, the gate structure 40 is a gate of the nanosheet power device, and the third semiconductor type region 33 and the fourth semiconductor type region 34 are sources of the nanosheet power device.

[0073] The sixth P-type region 31, the sixth N-type region 32, the seventh P-type region 33, the eighth P-type region and the seventh N-type region 35 in the plurality of nanosheet layers 30 form a P-type VDMOS tube.
