Termination structures for semiconductor devices
A process for forming a device can include forming a first semiconductor region having a first conductivity type. The process can include depositing a dielectric layer over the first semiconductor region, the dielectric layer having a first etch rate. The process can include forming a first photoresist layer having a second etch rate that is greater than the first etch rate over the dielectric layer and forming a second photoresist layer over the first photoresist layer. The process can include patterning the second photoresist layer to remove a region of the second photoresist, the first photoresist layer being exposed under the region. The process can include etching to form a beveled structure in the dielectric layer. The process can include removing the first photoresist layer and the second photoresist layer and performing ion implantation of the first semiconductor region with dopant species having a second conductivity type.
Conformal boron doping method for three-dimensional structure and use thereof
A conformal boron doping method for a three-dimensional structure includes the steps of: removing a natural oxide layer on a surface of a silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a buffer layer on the surface of the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate; forming a boron oxide thin film on the alumina buffer layer; covering a passivation layer on a surface of the boron oxide thin film; and driving boron impurities containing boron oxide into the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate through the buffer layer by using laser or rapid annealing, to dope the silicon-based three-dimensional substrate. Selecting suitable boron source precursors and oxidants solves the problems of difficult nucleation and inability to form a film after reaching a certain thickness for boron oxide. By selecting alumina as the passivation layer, it is possible to protect the boron oxide thin film from being damaged, and thus achieve damage-free diffusion doping during laser or rapid annealing processes.

DMOS device having junction field plate and manufacturing method therefor
The present disclosure provides a DMOS device with a junction field plate and its manufacturing method. A drain region is located on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A source region is located in the semiconductor substrate at a bottom of a first trench. A gate electrode is located at the bottom of the first trench. The junction field plate improves an effect on reducing surface resistance. At the same time, a depth of trenches in the DMOS device may be reduced, and thereby a depth-to-width ratio of the device is reduced, improving the feasibility of increasing a voltage resistance level. Both the source region and the drain region in the DMOS device are led out on a same surface. A second doped polycrystalline silicon layer includes a first doped sublayer and a second doped sublayer with different conduction types.
