Abstract:In this study, trench sidewall modification processes were designed to improve profile uniformity and thereby enhance the electrical performance of silicon power devices in large-scale production. The effects of trench sidewall modification on the morphology, structure and electrical properties were studied. Plasma-induced damage in etching processes was also observed and briefly explained. Straight and smooth sidewall profiles were achieved through adjusting the SF6/CHF3 proportion in a combined etchant gas f… Show more
