Abstract
In this study, a new simplified technology for fabricating high density trench gate DMOSFETs using only three mask layers and TEOS/nitride spacer is proposed. Due to the reduced masking steps and self-aligned process, this technique can afford to fabricate DMOSFETs with high cell density up to 100 Mcell/inch$^2$ and cost-effective production. The resulting unit cell pitch was 2.3∼2.4${\mu}$m. The fabricated device exhibited a excellent specific on-resistance characteristic of 0.36m$\Omega$. cm$^2$ with a breakdown voltage of 42V. Moreover, time to breakdown of gate oxide was remarkably increased by the hydrogen annealing after trench etching.
