Claim:
1. A method of fabricating a trench field-effect device, comprising: providing a substrate, the substrate comprising a relatively-lightly-doped monocrystalline silicon epitaxial layer formed on a semiconductor substrate of the substrate and a trench formed in the epitaxial layer; forming a sacrificial dielectric layer on a bottom and a sidewall of the trench with a thickness in a range from 400 Å to 2000 Å; forming a heavily-doped polysilicon region at the bottom of the trench, the doping concentration of the heavily-doped polysilicon region being over 20 times greater than that of the epitaxial layer, and removing a first part of the sacrificial dielectric layer that is not covered by the heavily-doped polysilicon region to expose an epitaxial layer of the sidewall of the trench while retaining a second part of the sacrificial dielectric layer that is covered by the heavily-doped polysilicon region; and oxidizing the heavily-doped polysilicon region and the epitaxial layer of the sidewall of the trench simultaneously, and forming a thick oxide layer and a trench sidewall gate dielectric layer synchronously on the bottom and the sidewall of the trench, respectively; wherein the thickness of the thick oxide layer is 2 to 4 times greater than that of the trench sidewall gate dielectric layer formed synchronously with the thick oxide layer, the thickness of the thick oxide layer is greatest in the center and continuously decreases toward the trench sidewalls, and the thick oxide layer is used as a trench bottom gate dielectric layer of the trench field-effect device, thereby reducing a capacitance between a gate and drain of the trench field-effect device, reducing a gate charge of the trench field-effect device and reducing the figure of merit of the trench field-effect device; wherein the thick oxide layer is formed on the second part of the sacrificial dielectric layer at the bottom of the trench, and wherein the thick oxide layer and the second part of the sacrificial dielectric layer cooperatively form the trench bottom gate dielectric layer in a gate dielectric layer of the trench field-effect device.
