ABSTRACT:
A laser ablated wafer for a semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET or other power device, and a method of producing such a wafer to achieve a lower electrical resistance are provided. The method includes forming first holes, slots or trenches on a first surface of the wafer and focusing a laser beam to form second trenches on a bottom surface of the wafer, and filling the trenches, for example using aluminum or other metallic filling, to provide conductive electrodes or conductive surfaces for the semiconductor device. In such a wafer each trench on the second surface may be deeper, for example more than one hundred microns deep and tens of microns wide.
