Abstract

See full text

Stripe-shaped surface transistor structures of a power MOSFET are disposed over an array of parallel-extending P type Buried Stripe-Shaped Charge Compensation Regions (BSSCCRs). The power MOSFET has two and only two epitaxial semiconductor layers, and the BSSCCRs are disposed at the interface between these layers. Looping around the area occupied by these parallel-extending BSSCCRs is a P type ring-shaped BSSCCR. At the upper semiconductor surface are disposed three P type surface rings. The inner surface ring and outer surface ring are coupled together by a bridging metal member, but the center surface ring is floating. The bridging metal member is disposed at least in part over the ring-shaped BSSCCR. The MOSFET has a high breakdown voltage, a low RDS(ON), and is acceptable and suitable for manufacture at semiconductor fabrication plants that cannot or typically do not make superjunction MOSFETs.
