The on-resistance (R/sub on/) of the 3rd generation device has been reduced by 40% compared with the conventional (2nd generation) device, to the value of 12 m/spl Omega/ maximum (at V/sub GS/=2.5 V) by using certain techniques. In order to reduce the R/sub on/ value, it is necessary to thin the epitaxial layer and shrink the chip size. In order to thin the epitaxial layer, it is important to control trench depth exactly to maintain the drain-source breakdown voltage (V/sub DSS/). This is done by using a trench RIE machine with an in-situ monitoring system. For shrinkage of the chip size, a narrow trench formation process and a double trench (additional contact trench) structure are applied to the 3rd generation trench gate MOSFET. Using these new techniques, we succeeded in the development of a 3rd generation trench gate MOSFET with the lowest R/sub on/ value reported to date.","PeriodicalId":352185,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs.

Trade-off curves of peak reverse current density, reverse recovery charge extracted and reverse dJ/dt versus forward voltage drop showed the merged PiN-Schottky (MPS), self-adapting P-emitter diode (SPEED), and static shielding diode (SSD) rectifiers to have far superior switching characteristics when compared to conventional PiN diodes. The uniform carrier distribution observed in the MPS/SPEED/SSD rectifiers leads to a universal trade-off curve in anode injection efficiency control diodes that is inherently superior to that obtained through lifetime control techniques. The SPEED rectifier is most attractive for high voltage applications due to its low reverse leakage current, while the MPS rectifier provides an excellent alternative to the high voltage PiN diode due to the identical fabrication process and its superior switching characteristics.","PeriodicalId":352185,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs.
