Title:
POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/136278
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A power semiconductor device (1) is described comprising: - a first main electrode (3), - a second main electrode (4), - a gate electrode layer (5) between the first main electrode (3) and the second main electrode (4), - a semiconductor layer stack (2) between and in electrical contact with the first main electrode (3) and the second main electrode (4), the semiconductor layer stack (2) comprising: - differently doped semiconductor layers, wherein at least two semiconductor layers differ in at least one of their conductivity type and their doping concentration, - a plurality of pillar-shaped or fin-shaped regions (20), which run through the gate electrode layer (5) and which each comprise a contact layer (21) arranged at the first main electrode (3) with a first doping concentration and with a first conductivity type, wherein each contact layer (21) extends to a side (5A) of the gate electrode layer (5) facing the first main electrode (3), the contact layers (21) of adjacent pillar-shaped or fin-shaped regions (20, 930) merge on the side of the gate electrode layer (5, 94) facing the first main electrode (3, 921) so that the contact layers (21) of adjacent pillar-shaped or fin-shaped regions (20, 930) are arranged continuously on the side of the gate electrode layer (5, 94) facing the first main electrode (3, 921).
