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.

A new small scaling Lateral Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (SSLTIGBT) was proposed to improve the characteristics of the device. The entire electrode of the LTIGBT was replaced with a trench-type electrode. The LTIGBT was designed so that the width of device was no more than 10$\mu\textrm{m}$. The latch-up current densities were improved by 4.5 and 7.6 times, respectively, compared to those of the same sifted conventional LTIGBT and the conventional LTIGBT which has the width of 17$\mu\textrm{m}$. The enhanced latch-up capability of the SSLTIGBT was obtained due to the fact that the hole current in the device reaches the cathode via the p+ cathode layer underneath the n+ cathode layer, directly. The forward blocking voltage of the SSLTIGBT was 125 V. At the same size, those of the conventional LTIGBT and the conventional LTIGBT with the width of 17$\mu\textrm{m}$ were 65 V and 105 V, respectively. Because the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrodes, the electric field in the device were crowded to trench oxide. Thus, the punch through breakdown of LTEIGBT occurred late.

IGBT는 MOSFET과 BJT의 구조를 동시에 포함하고 있는 전력반도체 소자이며, MOSFET의 빠른 스위칭 속도와 BJT의 고 내압, 높은 전류내량 특성을 갖고 있다. GBT는 높은 항복전압, 낮은 V_CE-SAT, 빠른 스위칭 속도, 고 신뢰성의 이상적인 파워 반도체 소자의 요구사항을 목표로 하는 소자이다. 본 논문에서는 1,200V 급 Trench Gate Field Stop IGBT의 상단 공정 파라미터인 Gate oxide thickness, Trench Gate Width, P+ Emitter width를 변화시키면서 변화하는 Eoff, V_CE-SAT을 분석하였고, 이에 따른 최적의 상단 공정 파라미터를 제시하였다. Synopsys T-CAD Simulator를 통해 항복전압 1,470V와 V_CE-SAT 2.17V, Eon 0.361mJ, Eoff 1.152mJ의 전기적 특성을 갖는 IGBT 소자를 구현하였다.

본 논문에서는 실리콘 카바이드(silicon carbide)를 기반으로 한 tilt-implanted trench Schottky diode(TITSD)를 제안한다. 4H-SiC 트랜치 쇼트키 다이오드(trench Schottky diode)에 형성되는 트랜치 측면에 경사 이온주입(tilt-implantation)을 하여 소자가 역저지 상태(reverse blocking mode)로 동작 시 trench insulator가 모든 퍼텐셜(potential)을 포함하는 구조를 제안하고, 그 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. TITSD는 트랜치의 측면(sidewall)에 nitrogen을 $1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ 으로 도밍(doping) 하여 항복전압(breakdown voltage) 특성도 경사 이온주입을 하지 않았을 때와 같게 유지하면서 trench oxide insulator가 모든 퍼텐셜을 포함하도록 함으로써 termination area를 감소시켰다. 트랜치 깊이(trench depth)를 $11{\mu}m$로 깊게 하고 최적화된 폭(width)을 선택함으로써 2750V의 항복전압을 얻었고, 동급의 항복전압을 가진 가드링(guard ring) 구조보다 termination area를 38.7% 줄일 수 있다. 이에 대한 전기적 특성은 synopsys사의 TCAD simulation을 사용하여 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 구조와 비교하였다.

원통좌표계에서의 FD-BPM(finite difference-beam propagation method)을 이용하여 굽은 광도파로의 bending loss를 계산하였다. Bending loss를 최소화하기 위해 trench구조를 적용하였으며 다음의 세가지 측면에서 해석하였다. 1)trench구조가 없을때 곡률반경에 따른 bending loss, 2)폭과 위치가 일정한 trench구조가 있을때 곡률반경과 굴절율차에 따른 bending loss, 3)trench의 위치가 일정할 때 trench의 폭에 따른 bending loss를 계산하였다.

Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) has become the most promising isolation scheme for ULSI applications. The stress of STI structure is one of several factors to degrade characteristics of a device. The stress contours or STI structure vary with the trench depth. Isolation characteristics of STI was analyzed as the depth of trench varied. And transistor characteristics was compared. Isolation punch-through voltage for n$^{＋}$ to pwell and p$^{＋}$ to nwell increased as trench depth increased. n$^{＋}$ to pwell leakage current had nothing to do with trench depth but n$^{＋}$ to pwell leakage current decreased as trench depth increased. In the case of transistor characteristics, short channel effect was independent on trench depth and inverse narrow width effect was greater for deeper trenches. Therefore in order to achieve stable device, it is important to minimize stress by optimizing trench depth.

A dual gate trench emitter IGBT structure is proposed and studied numerically using the device simulator MEDICI. The on-state forward voltage drop latch-up current density turn-off time and breakdown voltage of the proposed structure are compared with those of the conventional DMOS-IGBT and trench gate IGBT structures. The proposed structure forms an additional channel and increases collector current level resulting in reduction of on -state forward voltage drop. In addition the trench emitter increases latch-up current density by 148% in comparison with that for the conventional DMOS-IGBT and by 83% compared with that for the trench gate IGBT without degradation in breakdown voltage when the half trench gate width(Tgw) and trench emitter depth(Ted) are fixed at $1.5\mum\; and\; 2\mum$, respectively

본 논문에서는 전력반도체의 내압을 유지하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 필드 링의 개선을 위해 새로운 구조의 필드 링을 제안하였다. 제안한 트렌치 필드 링은 기존의 일반 필드 링에 비해 10%이상 효율을 개선하였다. 트렌치 필드 링의 설계를 위해 5가지의 변수를 두고 최적화 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 수행한 파라미터 결과를 가지고 마스크를 설계하여 제작을 진행하였다. 내압이 증가하면 증가할 수록 트렌치 필드링이 일반 필드 링보다 더 좋은 결과를 가져올 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 앞으로 전력반도체 소자인 IGBT, Power MOS 및 MCT 소자의 설계에 충분히 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
