Abstract:
A process is described for making a superjunction semiconductor device. a large number of symmetrically spaced trenches penetrate the Nnull epitaxial layer of silicon atop an Nnull body to a depth of 35 to 40 microns. The wells have a circular cross-section and a diameter of about 9 microns. The trench walls are implanted by an ion implant beam of boron which is at a slight angle to the axis of the trenches. The wafer is intermittently or continuously rotated about an axis less than 90null to its surface to cause skewing of the implant beam and more uniform distribution of boron ions over the interior surfaces of the trenches.
