Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing thereof

摘要: An Enhanced Planar MOS cell based on a simple and self-aligned process provides a structure where the lateral distance between the edge of the gate electrode opening and the end of the P-well region is less than 70% from the vertical distance between the surface of the substrate and the depth of the P-well region. Usually, for previous designs, this ratio was 70-80% or more. A spacer can be introduced at the edge of the polysilicon gate electrode openings after the diffusion of an enhancement layer. Using the spacer, a P-type implant is made, resulting in a shorter lateral MOS channel, while the vertical depth of the P-well remains unchanged. The design results in much lower on-state losses without affecting the voltage blocking capability of the device. This design offers advantages both in terms of performance and processability and can be applied to both IGBTs and MOSFETs.
