TRENCH MOSGATED DEVICE WITH DEEP TRENCH BETWEEN GATE TRENCHES
First Claim
1. A trench MOSFET structure comprising a plurality of parallel spaced gate trenches extending through a source region of a first conductivity type, an underlying channel region of the opposite conductivity type and into a drift region of the first conductivity type;
- and a deep trench disposed between each pair of said gate trenches;
each of said deep trenches being filled with a conductive polysilicon of the conductivity type of said channel region; and
a top contact connected to said source region and said conductive polysilicon in said deep trenches.

Abstract
A trench gated MOSFET especially for operation in high radiation environments has a deep auxiliary trench located between the gate trenches. A boron implant is formed in the walls of the deep trench (in an N channel device); a thick oxide is formed in the bottom of the trench, and boron doped polysilicon which is connected to the source electrode fills the trench. The structure has reduced capacitance and improved resistance to single event rupture and single event breakdown and improved resistance to parasitic bipolar action.
