Abstract
A fabrication method for high voltage power devices with at least one deep edge ring includes the steps of growing a lightly doped N-type epitaxial layer on a heavily doped N-type substrate, growing an oxide on the upper portion of the epitaxial layer, masking and then implanting boron ions, etching the oxide to expose regions for aluminum ion implantation, forming a layer of preimplantation oxide, masking of the body regions with a layer of photosensitive material and implanting aluminum ions, and a single thermal diffusion process forming a layer of thermal oxide on the epitaxial layer and simultaneously forming at least one deep aluminum ring and an adjacent body region doped with boron.
