Devices and methods for providing a power transistor structure with a shallow source region include implanting a dopant of a first dopant polarity into a drift region on a source side of a gate structure to form a body region, the body region being self-aligned to, and extending under, the gate structure, and producing a shallow body region wherein the source side hybrid contact mitigates punch through of the shallow self-aligned body region and suppresses triggering of a parasitic bipolar. A retrograde body well, of the first dopant polarity, may be disposed beneath, and noncontiguous with, the shallow self-aligned body region, wherein the retrograde body well improves the electric field profile of the shallow self-aligned body region. A variety of power transistor structures are produced from such devices and methods.

LDMOS with self-aligned body and hybrid source

A lateral DMOS transistor structure includes a substrate of a first dopant polarity, a body region of the first dopant polarity, a source region, a drift region of a second dopant polarity, a drain region, a channel region, a gate structure over the channel region, a hybrid contact implant, of the second dopant polarity, in the source region, and a respective metal contact on or within each of the source region, gate structure, and drain region. The hybrid contact implant and the metal contact together form a hybrid contact defining first, second, and third electrical junctions. The first junction is a Schottky junction formed vertically between the source metal contact and the body. The second junction is an ohmic junction formed laterally between the source metal contact and the hybrid contact implant. The third junction is a rectifying PN junction between the hybrid contact implant and the channel region.
