Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022204691A1] A method includes defining a plurality of trenches (101, 101-1, 101-2, 102-3, 10-4, 101-c, 101-L, 101-M, 101-U) of a first type that extend in a longitudinal direction in a semiconductor substrate, and defining a trench (105, 105-1, 105-2, 105-3, 105-4) of a second type extending in a lateral direction and intersecting the plurality of trenches (101, 101-1, 101-2, 102-3, 10-4, 101-c, 101-L, 101-M, 101-U) of the first type. The trench (105, 105-1, 105-2, 105-3, 105-4) of the second type is in fluid communication with each of the intersected plurality of trenches (101, 101-1, 101-2, 102-3, 10-4, 101-c, 101-L, 101-M, 101-U) of the first type. The method further includes disposing a shield poly layer (111) in the plurality of trenches (101, 101-1, 101-2, 102-3, 10-4, 101-c, 101-L, 101-M, 101-U) of the first type and the trench (105, 105-1, 105-2, 105-3, 105-4) of the second type, disposing an inter-poly dielectric layer (112) and a gate poly layer (108) above the shield poly layer (111) in the plurality of trenches (101, 101-1, 101-2, 102-3, 10-4, 101-c, 101-L, 101-M, 101-U) of the first type and the trench (105, 105-1, 105-2, 105-3, 105-4) of the second type, and forming an electrical contact to the shield poly layer (111) through an opening (106, 16) in the inter-poly dielectric layer (112) and the gate poly layer (108) disposed in the trench of the second type.
