In this paper, we proposed trench field ring for breakdown voltage of power devices. The proposed trench field ring was improved 10% efficiency comparing with conventional field ring. we analyzed five parameters of trench field ring for design of trench field ring and carried out 2-D devices simulation and process simulations. That is, we analyzed number of field ring, juction depth, distance of field rings, trench width, doping profield. The proposed trench field ring was better to more 1000 V.

In this paper, the usage of tilt-implanted trench Schottky diode(TITSD) based on silicon carbide is proposed. A tilt-implanted trench termination technique modified for SiC is proposed as a method to keep all the potentials confined in the trench insulator when reverse blocking mode is operated. With the side wall doping concentration of $1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ nitrogen, the termination area of the TITSD is reduced without any sacrifice in breakdown voltage while potential is confined within insulator. When the trench depth is set to 11um and the width is optimized, a breakdown voltage of 2750V is obtained and termination area is 38.7% smaller than that of other devices which use guard rings for the same breakdown voltage. A Sentaurus device simulator is used to analyze the characteristics of the TITSD. The performance of the TITSD is compared to the conventional trench Schottky diode.

This paper presents the feature profile evolution silicon deep trench etching, which is very crucial for the commercial wafer process application. The silicon deep trenches were etched with the SF6 gas & Hbr gas based process recipe. The optimized silicon deep trench process resulted in vertical profiles (87o~90o) with loading effect of < 1%. The process recipes were developed for the silicon deep trench etching applications. This scheme provides vertically profiles without notching of top corner was observed. In this study, the production of SF6 gas based silicon deep trench etch process much more strongly than expected on the basis of Hbr gas trench process that have been investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on the test results, it is concluded that the silicon deep trench etching shows the sufficient profile for practical MOS FET silicon deep trench technology process.

In this paper, we investigated about wet cleaning effect as deep trench formation methods for Power chip devices. Deep trench structure was classified by two methods, PSU (Poly Stick Up) and Non-PSU structure. In this paper, we could remove residue defect during wet. cleaning after deep trench etch process for non-PSU structure device as to change wet cleaning process condition. V-SEM result showed void image at the trench bottom site due to residue defect and residue component was oxide by EDS analysis. In order to find the reason of happening residue defect, we experimented about various process conditions. So, defect source was that oxide film was re-deposited at trench bottom by changed to hydrophobic property at substrate during hard mask removal process. Therefore, in order to removal residue defect, we added in-situ SCI during hard mask removal process, and defect was removed perfectly. And WLR (Wafer Level Reliability) test result was no difference between normal and optimized process condition.

A new technique for highly controllable trench corner rounding at the top and bottom of the trench using pull-back and hydrogen annealing has been developed and investigated. The pull-back process could control the trench corner rounding radius at the top comers of the trench. The silicon migration generated by hydrogen annealing at the trench coiners provided (111) and (311) crystal planes and gave a uniform gate-oxide thickness, resulting in high reliable trench DMOSFETs with highly breakdown voltages and low leakage currents. The breakdown voltage of a trench DMOSFET fabricated using hydrogen annealing was increased by 25% compared with a conventional DMOSFET. The reasonable drain current of 45.3 A was obtained when a gate voltage of 10 V was supplied. The on-resistance of the trench gate DMOSFET fabricated using the trench cell of 45,000 was about 55 m(at a gate voltage of 10 V under a drain current of 5 A.

Offshore pipelines play an important role in the transportation of gas, oil, water and oil products. It is common to have a group of pipelines in the oil and gas field. To reduce the installation cost and time, dual pipelines are designed. There are great advantages in the installation of dual pipelines over two separate single lines. It can greatly reduce the cost for trench, back-filling and installation. However the installation of dual pipelines often requires technical challenges. Pipelines should be placed to be stable against external loadings during installation and design life period. Dual pipelines in trench can reduce the influence of external forces. To investigate the flow patterns and forces as trench depth and slope changes, number of experiments are conducted with PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) equipment in a Circulating Water Channel. Numerical approaches to simulate experimental conditions are also made to compare with experimental results. The velocity fields around dual pipelines in trench are investigated and analysed. Comparison of both results show similar patterns of flow around pipelines. It is proved that the trench depth contributes significantly on hydrodynamic stability. The trench slope also affects the pipeline stability. The results can be applied in the stability design of dual pipelines in trench section. The complex flow patterns can be effectively linked in the understanding of fluid motions around multi-circular bodies in trench.

In this paper, an investigation of the 8" process for Trench Power MOSFET Application and Trench MOSFETs and its impact on device performance is presented. Layout dimensions of trench power MOSFETs have been continuously reduced in order to decrease the specific on-resistance, maintaining equal vertical dimensions. We discuss experimental results for devices with a pitch size down fabricated with an unconventional gate trench topology and a simplified manufacturing scheme. The fabricated Trench MOSFETs are observed the trench gate oxidation by SEM.

Integrated passive device (IPD) technology has emerged with the need for 5G. In order to integrate and miniaturize capacitors inside IPD, various studies are actively performed using high-k materials and trench structures. In this paper, an EM(Electromagnetic) simulation study was performed by applying an oxide dielectric to the capacitors having a various trench type structures. Commercially available materials HfO₂, Al₂O₃, and Ta₂O₅ are applied to non, circle, trefoil, and quatrefoil type trench structures to confirm changes in each material or structure. As a result, the bigger the capacitor area and the higher dielectric constant of the oxide dielectric, the insertion loss tended to decrease.
