Abstract

A trench MOSFET includes: a substrate having a first doping type; an epitaxial layer having the first doping type, located on the substrate; gate trenches and a first conductive channel; gate conductors, each located in one of the gate trenches and isolated from the epitaxial layer via a gate dielectric layer; an epitaxial depletion region having a second doping type, located in the epitaxial layer at a bottom of the first conductive channel; body regions having the second doping type, located on two sides of each gate trench and adjacent to a side wall of the first conductive channel; source regions having the first doping type, each located in each of the body regions; a source electrode, contacting the epitaxial depletion region via the first conductive channel; and a drain electrode, contacting the substrate on a surface of the substrate away from the epitaxial layer.
