Abstract

This disclosure relates to a high power VMOS semiconductor device and fabrication method therefor. This VMOS semiconductor device uses a doped polysilicon gate electrode in the V groove and an overlying metal electrode located over an insulation layer protecting the doped polysilicon gate electrode. This overlying metal electrode layer covers substantially the entire surface area (except for a small area where electrical contact is made to the doped polysilicon gate electrode) of one surface of the device. Another embodiment discloses the use of a self-aligned metal contact to the source or drain region of the VMOS device between adjacent V grooves.
