Ultralow Specific on-Resistance Trench MOSFET with a U-Shaped Extended Gate

An ultralow specific on-resistance （Ron,sp） trench metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor （MOSFET） with an improved off-state breakdown voltage （BV） is proposed. It features a U-shaped gate around the drift region and an oxide trench inserted in the drift region （UG MOSFET）. In the on-state, the U-shaped gate induces a high density electron accumulation layer along its sidewall, which provides a low-resistance current path from the source to the drain, realizing an ultralow Ron,sp. The value of Ron,sp is almost independent of the drift doping concentration, and thus the UG MOSFET breaks through the contradiction relationship between R p and the off-state BV. Moreover, the oxide trench folds the drift region, enabling the UG MOSFET to support a high BV with a shortened cell pitch. The UG MOSFET achieves an Ron,sp of 2 mΩ·cm^2 and an improved BV of 216 V, superior to the best existing state-of-the-art transistors at the same BV level

UMOSFET功率器件漏电失效分析及工艺改善

针对U型沟槽MOSFET（UMOSFET）功率器件栅极和源极间发生漏电失效的问题,对失效器件进行了电学测试和缺陷检测,对失效现象和失效机理进行了分析,并进行了相关工艺模拟和工艺实验。采用透射电子显微镜（TEM）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和聚焦离子束（FIB）对失效芯片的缺陷进行分析和表征。结果表明,器件的U型沟槽底部栅氧化层存在的缺陷是产生漏电的主要原因,湿氧工艺中反应气体反式二氯乙烯（TransLC）的残留碳化造成了芯片栅氧层中的缺陷。通过工艺模拟和实验,优化了湿氧工艺条件,工艺改进后产品的成品率稳定在98%～99%,无漏电失效现象。
