Super junction trench gate power MOSFETs have been receiving attention in terms of the trade-off between breakdown voltage and on-resistance. The vertical structure of super junction trench gate power MOSFETs allows the on-resistance to be reduced compared with conventional Trench Gate Power MOSFETs. The heat release of devices is also decreased with the reduction of on-resistance. In this paper, Lattice Temperature of two devices, Trench Gate Power MOSFET and Super junction trench gate power MOSFET, are compared in several temperature circumstance with the same Breakdown Voltage and Cell-pitch. The devices were designed by 100V Breakdown voltage and measured from 250K Lattice Temperature. We have tried to investigate how much temperature rise in the same condition. According as temperature gap between top of devices and bottom of devices, Super junction trench gate power MOSFET has a tendency to generate lower heat release than Trench Gate Power MOSFET. This means that Super junction trench gate power MOSFET is superior for wide-temperature range operation. When trench etching process is applied for making P-pillar region, trench angle factor is also important component. Depending on trench angle, characteristics of Super junction device are changed. In this paper, we focus temperature characteristic as changing trench angle factor. Consequently, Trench angle factor don't have a great effect on temperature change.

Power MOSFET operate voltage-driven devices, design to control the large power switching device for power supply, converter, motor control, etc. We have analyzed trench process, field limit ring process for fabrication of unified trench gate power MOSFET. And we have analyzed electrical characteristics of fabricated unified trench gate power MOSFET. The optimal trench process was based on SF6. After we carried out SEM measurement, we obtained superior trench gate and field limit ring process. And we compared electrical characteristics of planar and trench gate unified power MOSFET after completing device fabrication. As a result, the both of them was obtained 500 V breakdown voltage. However trench gate unified power MOSFET was shown improved Vth and on state voltage drop characteristics than planar gate unified power MOSFET.

이 논문에서 Trench Power MOSFET의 스위칭 성능을 향상시키기 위한 Separate Gate Technique(SGT)을 제안하였다. Trench Power MOSFET의 스위칭 성능을 개선시키기 위해서는 낮은 gate-to-drain 전하 (Miller 전하)가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 제안된 separate gate technique은 얇은(~500A)의 poly-si을 deposition하여 sidewall을 형성함으로서, 기존의 Trench MOSFET에 비해 얇은 gate를 형성하였다. 이 효과로 gate와 drain에 overlap 되는 면적을 줄일 수 있어 gate bottom에 쌓이는 Qgd를 감소시키는 효과를 얻었고, 이에 따른 전기적인 특성을 Silvaco T-CAD silmulation tool을 이용하여 일반적인 Trench MOSFET과 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과 Ciss(input capacitance : Cgs+Cgd), Coss(output capacitance : Cgd+Cds) 및 Crss(reverse recovery capacitance : Cgd) 모두 개선되었으며, 각각 14.3%, 23%, 30%의 capacitance 감소 효과를 확인하였다. 또한 inverter circuit을 구성하여, Qgd와 capacitance 감소로 인한 24%의 reverse recovery time의 성능향상을 확인하였다. 또한 제안된 소자는 기존 소자와 비교하여 어떠한 전기적 특성저하 없이 공정이 가능하다.

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

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 $3{\mu}m$.

In this study, the etched trench properties including cross-sectional profile, surface roughness, and crystalline defects were investigated depending on the various silicon etching and additive gases, For the case of HBr$He-O_2SiF_4$ trench etching gas mixtures, the excellent trench profile and minimum defects in the silicon trench were achieved. Due to the residual oxide film grown by the additive oxygen gas, which acts as a protective layer during trench etching, the undercut and defects generation in the trench were suppressed. To improve the electrical characteristics of trench gate, the hydrogen annealing process after trench etching was also adopted. Through the hydrogen annealing, the trench corners might be rounded by the silicon atomic migration at the trench corners having high potential. The rounded trench corner can afford to reduce the gate electric field and grow a uniform gate oxide. As a result, dielectric strength and TDDB characteristics of the hydrogen annealed trench gate oxide were remarkably increased compared to the non-hydrogen annealed one.

When we have designed $6,580{\mu}m{\times}5,680{\mu}m$ of chip size and 20 A current, on resistance of trench gate power MOSFET was low than planar gate power MOSFET. The on state voltage of trench gate power MOSFET was improved from 4.35 V to 3.7 V. At the same time, we have designed unified field limit ring for trench gate power MOFET. It is Junction Termination Edge type. As a result, we have obtained chip shrink effect and low on resistance because conventional field limit ring was convert to unify.
