Research output: Patent

Abstract

An economical integration of trench VDMOS devices into a conventional BCD process is provided, with the optimization of key aspects of the device layout for low R<SUB>ds(on) </SUB>area. Specifically, trench orientation, array geometry, the number of source cells between drain pickups and drain-source spacing are independently optimized. In one embodiment of the invention, the optimized device utilizes a rectangular cell array with an elongation ratio in the range of 5/3-7/3, with a ratio of 5/3 being preferred, and a cell orientation at 45° with respect to the wafer flat on a 100 wafer.
