A new Lateral Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(LTIGBT) with p$^{+}$ diverter was proposed to improve the characteristics of the conventional LTIGBT. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was about 140V. That of the conventional LTIGBT of the same size was 105V. Because the p$^{+}$ diverter region of the proposed device was enclosed trench oxide layer, he electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was occurred, lately. Therefore, the p$^{+}$ diverter of the proposed LTIGBT didn't relate to breakdown voltage in a different way the conventional LTIGBT. The Latch-up current densities of the conventional LTIGBT and proposed LTIGBT were 540A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and 1453A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the proposed LTIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p$^{+}$ divert region and p$^{+}$ cathode layer beneath n$^{+}$ cathode layer./ cathode layer.

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.

A new small sized Lateral Trench electrode Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(LTEIGBT) was proposed to improve the characteristics of conventional Lateral IGBT (LIGBT) and Lateral Trench gate IGBT (LTIGBT). The entire electrode of LTEIGBT was replace with trench-type electrode. The LTEIGBT was designed so that the width of device was no more than 19 ㎛. The Latch-up current densities of LIGBT, LTIGBT and the proposed LTEIGBT were 120A/㎠, 540A/㎠, and 1230A/㎠, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the LTEIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p+ cathode layer underneath n+ cathode layer. The forward blocking voltage of the LTEIGBT is 130V. Conventional LIGBT and LTIGBT of the same size were no more than 60V and 100V, respectively. Because the the proposed device was constructed of trench-type electrodes, the electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTEIGBT is occurred, lately.

The uniformity of field oxide is critical to isolation property of device in STI, so the control of field oxide thickness in STI-CMP becomes enormously important. The loss of field oxide in shallow trench isolation comes mainly from dishing and erosion in STI-CMP. In this paper, the effect of slurries on the dishing was investigated with both blanket and patterned wafers were selected to measure the removal rate, selectivity and dishing amount. Dishing was a strong function of pattern spacing and types of slurries. Dishing was significantly decreased with decreasing pattern spacing for both slurries. Significantly lower dishing with ceria based slurry than with silica based slurry were achieved when narrow pattern spacing were used. Possible dishing mechanism with two different slurries were discussed based on the observed experimental results.

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.

A new small size Lateral Trench Electrode Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (LTEIGBT) is proposed and fabricated to improve the characteristics of device. The entire electrode of LTEIGBT is placed to trench type electrode. The LTEIGBT is designed so that the width of device is 19w. The latch-up current density of the proposed LTEIGBT is improved by 10 and 2 times with those of the conventional LIGBT and LTIGBT. The forward blocking voltage of the LTEIGBT is 130V. At the same size, those of conventional LIGBT and TIGBT are 60V and 100V, respectively. Because the electrodes of the proposed device is formed of trench type, the electric field in the device are crowded to trench oxide. When the gate voltage is applied 12V, the forward conduction currents of the proposed LTEIGBT and the conventional LIGBT are 80mA and 70mA, respectively, at the same breakdown voltage of 150V.

In this paper, a lateral power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor with ultra-low specific on-resistance is proposed to be applied to a high-voltage (up to 200 V) integrated chip. The proposed structure has two characteristics. Firstly, a high level of drift doping concentration can be kept because a tilt-implanted p-drift layer assists in the full depletion of the n-drift region. Secondly, charge imbalance is avoided by an extended trench gate, which suppresses the trench corner effect occurring in the n-drift region and helps achieve a high breakdown voltage (BV). Compared to a conventional trench gate, the simulation result shows a 37.5% decrease in $R_{on.sp}$ and a 16% improvement in BV.

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.

Trench D-MOS(double-diffusion MOS)는 기존의 D-MOS를 대체한 것으로 전체 전류의 길이를 짧게 함으로써 온전압강하가 낮아지게 된다. 따라서 소자가 턴-온시에 전력소모가 작게 되며, 온저항과 트레이드 오프관계인 턴-오프 특성도 그다지 나빠지지 않아 트레이드 오프 특성도 개선되어지는 장점이 있다. 본 논문은 MicoroTec 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 Trench D-MOS의 산화벽을 다르게하여 전류-전압 특성을 연구하였다.

Deep sub-micron device required to get the superior ultra thin gate oxide characteristics. In this research, I will recommend a novel shallow trench isolation structure(STI) for thin gate oxide and a $N_2$O gate oxide 30 $\AA$ by NO ambient process. The local oxidation of silicon(LOCOS) isolation has been replaced by the shallow trench isolation which has less encroachment into the active device area. Also for $N_2$O gate oxide 30 $\AA$, ultra thin gate oxide 30 $\AA$ was formed by using the $N_2$O gate oxide formation method on STI structure and LOCOS structure. For the metal electrode and junction, TiSi$_2$ process was performed by RTP annealing at 850 $^{\circ}C$ for 29 sec. In the viewpoints of the physical characteristics of MOS capacitor, STI structure was confirmed by SEM. STI structure was expected to minimize the oxide loss at the channel edge. Also, STI structure is considered to decrease the threshold voltage, result in a lower Ti/TiN resistance( Ω /cont.) and higher capacitance-gate voltage(C- V) that made the STI structure more effective. In terms of the TDDB(sec) characteristics, the STI structure showed the stable value of 25 % ～ 90 % more than 55 sec. In brief, analysis of the ultra thin gate oxide 30 $\AA$ proved that STI isolation structure and salicidation process presented in this study. I could achieve improved electrical characteristics and reliability for deep submicron devices with 30 $\AA$ $N_2$O gate oxide.
