Trenched MOS Gate Controller Rectifier

Abstract:

A trenched MOS gate controlled rectifier has an asymmetric trench structure between the active area of active trenches and the termination area of termination trenches. The asymmetric trench structure has a gate electrode on one side of the trench to turn on and off the channel of the MOS structure effectively and a field plate structure on the other side with field dielectric sufficiently thick in order to sustain the high electric field during the reverse bias condition.
