Abstract
Disclosed are a variety of junction termination structures for high voltage semiconductor power devices. The structures are specifically aimed at providing a high breakdown voltage while being constructed with a minimal number of process steps. The combination of an RIE etch and/or implantation and anneal process with a finely patterned mesh provides the desired radial gradient for maximum breakdown voltage. The structures provide control of both the conductivity and charge density within the region. These structures can beneficially be applied to all high voltage semiconductor device structures, but are of particular interest for wide bandgap devices as they tend to have very high breakdown fields and scaled dimensions of the depletion layer width.
