Abstract
In a modern 0.15 μm power MOSFET, aluminum voids (voids formed in an aluminum-type electrode) are generated frequently in trench portions (source contact trenches) caused by the reduction of a cell pitch for refinement. It is considered to be attributable to the defects which are generated mainly due to a sudden increase of the aspect ratio from 0.84 in the previous generation to 2.8 in the current generation. Accordingly, concave portions of repetitive trenches having a high aspect ratio are filled with an aluminum-type metal by ionized sputtering throughout the processing, from the formation to the filling of an aluminum-type metal seed film.
