Abstract
A vertical power semiconductor transistor device includes: a drain region of a first conductivity type; a body region of a second conductivity type; a drift region of the first conductivity type which separates the body region from the drain region; a source region of the first conductivity type separated from the drift region by the body region; a gate trench extending through the source and body regions and into the drift region, the gate trench including a gate electrode; and a field electrode in the gate trench or in a separate trench. The drift region has a generally linearly graded first doping profile which increases from the body region toward a bottom of the trench that includes the field electrode, and a graded second doping profile that increases at a greater rate than the first doping profile from an end of the first doping profile toward the drain region.
