Zero thermal budget manufacturing process for mos-technology power

Abstract

A zero thermal budget manufacturing process for a MOS-technology power device. The method comprises the steps of: forming a conductive insulated gate layer on a surface of a lightly doped semiconductor material layer of a first conductivity type; removing the insulated gate layer from selected portions of the semiconductor material layer surface; implanting a first dopant of a second conductivity type into the selected portions of the semiconductor material layer, the insulated gate layer acting as a mask and the first dopant of the first conductivity type being implanted in a dose and with an implantation energy suitable to obtain heavily doped regions substantially aligned with the edges of the insulated gate layer; implanting a second dopant of the second conductivity type along directions at prescribed angles with respect to a direction orthogonal to the semiconductor material layer surface, the insulated gate layer acting as a mask, the second dopant being implanted in a dose and with an implantation energy suitable to obtain lightly doped channel regions extending under the insulated gate layer; and implanting a third dopant of the first conductivity type into the heavily doped regions, to form source regions substantially aligned with the edges of the insulated gate layer.
