Shielded gate trench (SGT) mosfet devices and manufacturing processes
First Claim
1. A semiconductor power device comprising a plurality of power transistor cells surrounded by trenches opened in a semiconductor substrate wherein:
- each of said transistor cells having a source region encompassed in a body region disposed next to a trenched gate with a gate material filling in the trenches surrounding said transistor cell wherein said trenched gate further having a bottom-shielding electrode filled with the gate material disposed below and insulated from an upper gate segment said trenched gate electrically connected to a gate pad and wherein the transistor cells further surrounding an intersection of two trenches constituting a source contacting trench with the gate filling material filling an entire vertical length of the intersection of the two trenches and electrically connected to the bottom-shield electrode for electrically connected to a source metal covering over the intersection; and
a deep body-dopant region in a termination area to function as a guard ring or a Junction-termination extension type termination.

Abstract
This invention discloses a semiconductor power device that includes a plurality of power transistor cells surrounded by a trench opened in a semiconductor substrate. At least one of the cells constituting an active cell has a source region disposed next to a trenched gate electrically connecting to a gate pad and surrounding the cell. The trenched gate further has a bottom-shielding electrode filled with a gate material disposed below and insulated from the trenched gate. At least one of the cells constituting a source-contacting cell surrounded by the trench with a portion functioning as a source connecting trench is filled with the gate material for electrically connecting between the bottom-shielding electrode and a source metal disposed directly on top of the source connecting trench. The semiconductor power device further includes an insulation protective layer disposed on top of the semiconductor power device having a plurality of source openings on top of the source region and the source connecting trench provided for electrically connecting to the source metal and at least a gate opening provided for electrically connecting the gate pad to the trenched gate.
