The conventional IGBT has two problems to make the device taking high performance. The one is high on state voltage drop associated with JFET region, the other is low breakdown voltage associated with concentrating the electric field on the junction of between p base and n drift. This paper is about the structure to effectively improve both the lower on state voltage drop and the higher breakdown voltage than the conventional IGBT. For the fabrication of the circular trench IGBT with the circular trench layer, it is necessary to perform the only one wet oxidation step for the circular trench layer. Analysis on both the on state voltage drop and the Breakdown voltage show the improved values compared to the conventional IGBT structure. Because the circular trench layer disperses electric field from p base and n drift junction to circular trench, the breakdown voltage increase. The on state voltage drop decrease due to reduction of JFET region and direction change of current path which pass through reversed layer channel.

Trench-Gate structures are proposed to improve the breakdown voltage of LDMOS as well as the second breakdown under forward biased gate. Two dimensional device simulator PISCES II has been used to explain the effects of the drift layer thickness on the breakdown voltage of the conventional LDMOS and Trench Gate LDMOS in terms of potential contour lines. The Trench Gate structure has shown improvements in the breakdown voltage by about 44% and 84% for $V_G$=0 V and $V_G$=15 V respectively.

A new Lateral Trench-MOS Bipolar-Mode Field-Effect Transistor(LTMBMFET) is proposed and verified by MEDICI simulation. By using a trench MOS structure, the proposed device can enhance the current gain without sacrificing other device characteristics such as the breakdown voltage. The channel region of the proposed device is formed between the trench MOS structure. So the effect of the substrate voltage is negligible when compared with the conventional device which has a channel region between the gate junction and the buried oxide layer.

Power metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices are widely used in power electronics applications, such as brushless direct current motors and power modules. For a conventional power MOSFET device such as trench double-diffused MOSFET (TDMOS), there is a tradeoff relationship between specific on-state resistance and breakdown voltage. To overcome the tradeoff relationship, a super-junction (SJ) trench MOSFET (TMOSFET) structure is studied and designed in this letter. The processing conditions are proposed, and studies on the unit cell are performed for optimal design. The structure modeling and the characteristic analyses for doping density, potential distribution, electric field, width, and depth of trench in an SJ TMOSFET are performed and simulated by using of the SILVACO TCAD 2D device simulator, Atlas. As a result, the specific on-state resistance of 1.2 $m{\Omega}-cm^2$ at the class of 100 V and 100 A is successfully optimized in the SJ TMOSFET, which has the better performance than TDMOS in design parameters.

The simulation results show that the heater loss decreases as the number. width and distance of trenchs increases.

This paper presents the characteristics of low consumption, high-response time hot-film type micro-flowsensors with SOI(Si-on-insulator) and trench structures. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. Compared with no-trench on the SOI structure, the micro-flowsensors with trench structures have properties of high output voltage and low consume power. Output voltage of micro-flowsensors with SOI and trench structures was 250 mV at $N_2$ flow rate of 2000 sccm/min, heating power of 0.3 W. The response time was about 85 msec when input flow was step-input.

The trench MOSFET structure is characterized by reduced on-resistance due to elimination of $R_{JFET}$ and high packing density. An analytical calculation of Ron as the sum of $R_{ch}$ and $R_{epi}$ has been reported previously for the trench MOSFET structure. However, the accumulation layer resistance may not be neglected for Trench MOSFET especially for a relatively large value of the cell spacing, where a major contribution to Ron comes from Ra as the simulation results in this paper shows.

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.

In this paper, the edge effects of proposed structure in active region for high voltage in shallow trench isolation for very large integrated MOSFET were simulated. Shallow trench isolation (STI) is a key process component in CMOS technologies because it provides electrical isolation between transistors and transistors. As a simulation results, shallow trench structure were intended to be electric functions of passive, as device dimensions shrink, the electrical characteristics influence of proposed STI structures on the transistor applications become stronger the potential difference electric field and saturation threshold voltage.
