Abstract

Disclosed is a manufacturing method of a trench-type power device. The manufacturing method comprises: forming a drift region; forming a first trench and a second trench in the drift region; forming a gate stack in the first trench; forming a doped region and a well region of P type in the drift region by performing first ion implantation; forming a source region of N type in the well region by performing second ion implantation. The well region in which a dopant concentration gradually decreases with depth is formed by the first ion implantation, an upper part of the well region is inverted by the second ion implantation to form the source region. The doped region and well region can be formed by self-alignment in a common ion implantation step, improving power device performance, reducing numbers of process steps of ion implantation and masks, reducing manufacturing cost.
