Abstract

A power semiconductor device includes a backside metal layer, a substrate formed on the backside metal layer, a semiconductor layer formed on the substrate, and a frontside metal layer. The semiconductor layer includes a first trench structure including a gate oxide layer formed around a first trench with poly-Si implant, a second trench structure including a gate oxide layer formed around a second trench with poly-Si implant, a p-base region formed between the first trench structure and the second trench structure, a plurality of n+ source region formed on the p-base region and between the first trench structure and the second trench structure, a dielectric layer formed on the first trench structure, the second trench structure, and the plurality of n+ source region. The frontside metal layer is formed on the semiconductor layer and filling gaps formed between the plurality of n+ source region on the p-base region.
