Abstract
A Vertical Power MOSFET (VDMOS) device with special features that enable the Power MOSFET or IGBT device to withstand harsh radiation environments and the process of making such a device is described. All implanted and diffused layers are 'self aligned' to a 'Sacrificial Poly' layer, which later on is removed, preparing the wafers for a “late gate” oxide to be grown. A starting material with graded doping profile in the epitaxial layer on the substrate is shown to increase the SEB capability of the Power MOSFET.
