Abstract :
The authors report a trench sidewall channel double-diffused MOS transistor (TDMOS) with specific on-resistance of active <80 mΩ-mm2, the lowest value reported to date. A novel five-mask process was used to fabricate the trench sidewall channel MOS transistor. The specific on-resistance of a typical device for active area is 75 mΩ-mm2, with a threshold voltage of 2.8 V and subthreshold slope of 195 mV/decade. The drain-to-source breakdown voltage is 52 V. Two-dimensional simulation of electric field in the off-state and carrier flow in the on-state has been carried out, and design considerations have been determined
