    Abstract: The present invention introduces a new shielded gate trench SBR (Super Barrier Rectifier) wherein an epitaxial layer having special MSE (multiple stepped epitaxial) layers with different doping concentrations decreasing in a direction from a substrate to a top surface of the epitaxial layer, wherein each of the MSE layers has an uniform doping concentration as grown. Forward voltage Vf is significantly reduced with the special MSE layers. An integrated circuit comprising a SGT MOSFET and a SBR formed on a single chip obtains benefits of low on-resistance, low reverse recovery time and high avalanche capability from the special MSE layers.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit comprising an SGT MOSFET and a short channel SBR is disclosed. The SBR horizontally disposed in different areas to the SGT MOSFET on single chip creates a low potential barrier for majority carrier in MOS channel for switching loss reduction. Only one additional mask is required for integration of the short channel SBR having thinner gate oxide than the SGT MOSFET. Moreover, in some preferred embodiment, an MSO structure is applied to the shielded gate structure to further reduce the on-resistance.

    Abstract: A trench MOSFET layout with multiple trenched floating gates and at least one trenched channel stop gate in termination area shorted with drain region is disclosed to make it feasibly achieved after die sawing. The layout consisted of multiple trench MOSFETs connected together with multiple sawing trenched gates across a space between two trench MOSFETs having a width same as scribe line. Dummy cells formed between an edge trench and active area act as butler cells to absorb avalanche energy when gate bias is increasing for turning on channel, therefore, the UIS failure issue is avoided and the avalanche capability of the trench MOSFET is enhanced.
