ABSTRACT:
A trenched gate MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) structure is fabricated via a novel process which includes the step of using a common mask serving the dual role as a mask for the body layer formation and as a mask for trench etching. The common mask defines an patterned oxide layer which includes a plurality of openings at a predetermined distance away from the scribe line of the MOSFET structure. During fabrication, material of the body layer is implanted through the openings of the patterned oxide layer. Thereafter, the implanted material is side-diffused and merged together under a drive-in cycle as one continuous body layer. Using the same patterned oxide layer as a shield, trenches are anisotropically etched in the substrate. The MOSFET structure as formed requires no separate mask for delineating the active body region away from the scribe line, resulting reduction of fabrication steps. The consequential benefits are lower manufacturing costs and higher production yields.
