A gate is formed within the gate trench. The hard mask layer is removed such that the gate protrudes from the surface of the epitaxial layer. An ion well is formed within the epitaxial layer. A source doping region is formed within the ion well. An upper portion of the gate that protrudes from the surface of the epitaxial layer is selectively oxidized to thereby form an oxide capping layer. Using the oxide capping layer as an etching hard mask, the epitaxial layer is self-aligned etched to thereby form a contact hole. | 02-05-2015 |
20150054062 | POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF - A power semiconductor device includes a cell region on a semiconductor substrate, at least a transistor device in the cell region, a peripheral termination region encompassing the cell region, a plurality of epitaxial islands arranged around the cell region, and a grid type epitaxial layer in the peripheral termination region. The grid type epitaxial layer separates the plurality of epitaxial islands from one another. | 02-26-2015 |
20150054064 | POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH SUPER JUNCTION STRUCTURE AND INTERLACED, GRID-TYPE TRENCH NETWORK - A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor wafer having thereon a plurality of die regions and scribe lanes between the die regions. A first epitaxial layer is disposed on the semiconductor wafer. First trenches extend along a first direction and traverse the plurality of die regions and the scribe lanes. Second trenches extend along a second direction and traverse the plurality of die regions and the scribe lanes. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first trenches intersect the second trenches to thereby form an interlaced, grid-type trench network. | 02-26-2015 |
