Process and structure for a superjunction device

Last updated:

Abstract:

A superjunction device comprising a drain contact, a substrate layer above the drain contact, an epitaxial layer above the substrate layer, a P+ layer above the epitaxial layer formed by P-type implantation to a bottom of the superjunction device, a trench with a sloped angle formed by use of a hard mask layer. The trench is filled with an insulating material. A first vertical column is formed adjacent to the trench. A second vertical column is formed adjacent to the first vertical column. A source contact is coupled to the first vertical column and the second vertical column. A P-body region is coupled to the source contact. A gate oxide is formed above the source contact and the epitaxial layer, and a gate formed above the gate oxide.
