Patent ID: 11757001

Abstract:
A high voltage superjunction MOSFET includes a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor layer having columns of first and second conductivity. A buffer layer of the first conductivity is between the semiconductor substrate and semiconductor layer. A plug region of the second conductivity is formed at a semiconductor layer surface and extends to the columns. A source/drain region is formed at the semiconductor layer surface and is connected to the plug region. The source/drain region has a concentration of the first conductivity between about 1×1019 cm−3 and 1.5×1020 cm−3. A body region of the second conductivity is between the source/drain region and the first column and is connected to the plug region. A gate trench is formed in the semiconductor layer surface and extends toward the first column and has a trench gate electrode disposed therein. A dielectric layer separates the trench gate electrode from the first column.
