Abstract

Disclosed herein is a power semiconductor device. The power semiconductor device includes a second conductive type first junction termination extension (JTE) layer that is formed so as to be in contact with one side of the second conductive type well layer, a second conductive type second JTE layer that is formed on the same line as the second conductive type first JTE layer, and is formed so as to be spaced apart from the second conductive type first JTE layer in a length direction of the substrate, and a poly silicon layer that is formed so as to be in contact with the second conductive type well layer and an upper portion of the second conductive type first JTE layer.

Claims (25)

1. A power semiconductor device comprising:

a first conductive type drift layer that includes one surface and the other surface, and is divided into an active region, a connection region, and a termination region;

a second conductive type semiconductor substrate that is formed on the other surface of the first conductive type drift layer;

a second conductive type well layer that is formed with a predetermined depth in a thickness direction from the one surface of the first conductive type drift layer, and formed in the active region;

a second conductive type first junction termination extension (JTE) layer that is formed to be in contact with one side of the second conductive type well layer;

a second conductive type second JTE layer that is formed to be spaced apart from the second conductive type first JTE layer in a length direction of the substrate;

a first insulating layer that is formed to be in contact over an area from an upper portion of the second conductive type first JTE layer to an upper portion of the second conductive type second JTE layer;

a poly silicon layer that is formed above the second conductive type well layer and an upper portion of the second conductive type first JTE layer and is formed to be in contact with an arbitrary area among a side surface and an upper surface of the first insulating layer;

2. The power semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the second conductive type first JTE layer and the second conductive type second JTE layer have a concentration lower than the second conductive type well layer.

3. The power semiconductor device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the poly silicon layer is formed so as to be closer to the second conductive type well layer rather than the second conductive type second JTE layer in the length direction of the substrate.
