Abstract
A high-speed MOS-technology power device integrated structure includes a plurality of elementary functional units formed in a lightly doped semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, the elementary functional units including channel regions of a second conductivity type covered by a conductive insulated gate layer including a polysilicon layer; the conductive insulated gate layer also including a highly conductive layer superimposed over the polysilicon layer and having a resistivity much lower than the resistivity of the polysilicon layer, so that a resistance introduced by the polysilicon layer is shunted with a resistance introduced by the highly conductive layer and the overall resistivity of the insulated gate layer is lowered.

-
a) growing a thin oxide layer over a surface of a lightly doped semiconductor material layer of a first conductivity type, depositing a polysilicon layer over the thin oxide layer, forming a silicide layer over the polysilicon layer, covering the silicide layer with an insulating material layer; b) selectively removing the insulating material layer, the silicidc layer, the polysilicon layer and the thin oxide layer to form a plurality of windows defining respective uncovered surface areas of the semiconductor material layer; c) implanting a high dose of a first donant of a second conductivity type along directions which are tilted of a first prescribed angle with respect to a direction orthogonal to a surface of the semiconductor material layer, said first angle depending on an overall thickness of the thin oxide layer, the polysilicon layer, the silicide layer and the insulating material layer to prevent the first dopant from being implanted in a central region of said uncovered surface areas, to form source regions of the first conductivity type; d) implanting a low dose of a second dopant of the first conductivity type along directions tilted at a second prescribed angle with respect to said orthogonal direction, to form doped regions of the second conductivity type each comprising lightly doped channel regions extending under edges of the windows; e) implanting a high dose of a third dopant of the second conductivity type substantially along said orthogonal direction, the insulating material layer acting as a mask, to form heavily doped regions substantially aligned with the edges of the windows. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7)
