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.

Recently, STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) process has attracted attention for high density of semiconductor device as a essential isolation technology. In this paper, the effect of pattern density, trench width and selectivity of slurry on dishing in STI CMP process was investigated by using specially designed isolation pattern. As trench width increased, the dishing tends to increase. At $20{\mu}m$ pattern size, the dishing was decreased with increasing pattern density Low selectivity slurry shows less dishing at over $160{\mu}m$ trench width, whereas high selectivity slurry shows less dishing at below $160{\mu}m$ trench width.

This paper analyzed thermal characteristics of super junction MOSFET using process and design parameters. Trench process is very important to super junction MOSFET process. We analyzed the difference of temperature, thermal resistance, total power consumption according to trench etch angle. As a result we obtained minimum value of temperature difference and thermal resistance at $89.3^{\circ}$ of trench etch angle. The electrical characteristics distribution of super junction MOSFET is not showed tendency according to trench etch angle. We need iterative experiments and simulation for optimal value of electrical characteristics. The super junction power MOSFET that has superior thermal characteristics will use automobile and industry.

In this paper, we propose a superjunction trench gate MOSFET (SJ TGMOSFET) fabricated through a simple p-pillar forming process using deep trench and boron silicate glass doping process technology to reduce the process complexity. Throughout the various boron doping experiments, as well as the process simulations, we optimize the process conditions related with the p-pillar depth, lateral boron doping concentration, and diffusion temperature. Compared with a conventional TGMOSFET, the potential of the SJ TGMOSFET is more uniformly distributed and widely spread in the bulk region of the n-drift layer due to the trenched p-pillar. The measured breakdown voltage of the SJ TGMOSFET is at least 28% more than that of a conventional device.

This research was about shielded trench gate power MOSFET for low voltage and high speed. We used T-CAD tool and carried out process and device simulation for exracting design and process parameters. The exracted parameters was used to design shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET. And The electrical characteristics of shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET were compared and analyzed for their power device applications. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, the recorded breakdown voltages of both devices were around 120 V. The electric distributions of shielded and conventional trench gate power MOSFET was different. But due to the low voltage level, the breakdown voltage was almost same. And the other hand, the threshold voltage characteristics of shielded trench gate power MOSFET was superior to convention trench gate power MOSFET. In terms of on resistance characteristics, we obtained optimal oxied thickness of $3{\mu}m$.

STI(shallow trench isolation)-CMP(chemical mechanical polishing) process have been substituted for LOCOS(local oxidation of silicon) process to obtain global planarization in the below sub-0.5㎛ technology. However TI-CMP process, especially TI-CMP with RIE(reactive ion etching) etch back process, has some kinds of defect like nitride residue, torn oxide defect, etc. In this paper, we studied how to reduced torn oxide defects after STI-CMP with RIE etch back processed. Although torn oxide defects which can occur on trench area is not deep and not severe, torn oxide defects on moat area is not deep and not severe, torn oxide defects on moat area is sometimes very deep and makes the yield loss. Thus, we did test on pattern wafers which go through trench process, APECVD process, and RIE etch back process by using an IPEC 472 polisher, IC1000/SUVA4 PAD and KOH base slurry to reduce the number of torn defects and to study what is the origin of torn oxide defects.

A new dynamic RAM cell called Trench Epitaxial Transistor Cell (TETC) has been developed for 4M to 16M DRAMS. Also the fabrication process for device isolation which can decrease the narrow effect using SEG process has been developed. We verified the characteristic of the new cell structure with the PICSES simulator on VAX8450.

Dislocations are often found at Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) process after repeated thermal cycles. The residual stress after STI process often leads defect like dislocation by post STI thermo-mechanical stress. Thermo-mechanical stress induced by STI process is difficult to remove perfectly by plastic deformation at previous thermal cycles. Embedded flash memory process is very weak in terms of post STI thermo-mechanical stress, because it requires more oxidation steps than other devices. Therefore, dislocation-free flash process should be optimized.

This paper investigated the trench process, unified field limit ring, and other products for the development of a 500 V-level unified trench gate power MOSFET. The optimal base chemistry for the device was found to be SF₆. In SEM analysis, the step process of the trench gate and field limit ring showed outstanding process results. After finalizing device design, its electrical characteristics were compared and contrasted with those of a planar device. It was shown that, although both devices maintained a breakdown voltage of 500 V, the Vth and on-state voltage drop characteristics were better than those of the planar type.

This study was carried out to treat sewage using sand trench combined with septic tank process in rural areas. In order to find optimum parameters, design and operation mode was changed from Run 1 to Run 4. In order to facilitate nitrification and T-P removal, diffuser and iron plate was installed in the 3rd trench of Run 2 period. The septic tank played a role as pre-application process of sand trench system. The removal efficiencies of COD, NH$_4$-N, T-P at steady state were 94.6%, 87.9% and 54.5%, respectively. Addition of diffuser and iron plate in the 3rd trench has increased the removal efficiencies of the NIL-N and T-P. In this system, denitrification were not occurred because of the high DO.
