Abstract:
MOSFET device formed in a semiconductor layer (12) overlaid by an insulated-gate structure (13, 14, 21) having at least two gate electrodes (14), of semiconductor material, which extend at a distance from one another and delimit between them a strip-shaped opening (15). The semiconductor layer accommodates a strip-shaped body region (19), which in turn accommodates a source region (20). A source-contact metal region (29) extends at least partially in the opening (15) and is in electrical contact with the body region (19) and the source structure (20, 25). The opening (15) is formed by elongated windows (15a) and contact cells (18) extending between pairs of consecutive elongated windows. The elongated windows (15) are filled with dielectric spacer material (26), and the metal contact structure (29) has first portions extending above the opening (15) at the elongated windows (15a) and second portions extending within the opening at the contact cells (18) and in direct electrical contact with the source structure (20, 25).
Abstract:
In a process for manufacturing a MOS device: forming a semiconductor layer (23) having a first type of conductivity; forming an insulated gate structure (27) having an electrode region (25), above the semiconductor layer (23); forming body regions (37) having a second type of conductivity, within the semiconductor layer (23), laterally and partially underneath the insulated gate structure (27); forming source regions (38) having the first type of conductivity, within the body regions (37); and forming a first enrichment region (42), in a surface portion of the semiconductor layer (23) underneath the insulated gate structure (27), the first enrichment region (42) having the first type of conductivity and being set at a distance from 10 the body regions (37). In order to form the first enrichment region (42), a first enrichment window (30) is defined within the insulated gate structure (27), and first dopant species of the first type of conductivity are introduced through the first enrichment window (30) and in a way self-aligned thereto.
