Abstract

A new DMOS fabrication process is disclosed. The fabrication process includes the steps of (a) growing an oxide layer on the substrate; (b) applying a first mask to define an active area and for selectively patterning the oxide layer for keeping a plurality of source implant blocking stumps near a plurality source regions wherein the blocking stumps being formed with width greater than twice a diffusion length of a source dopant and with width less than twice a diffusion length of the body dopant whereby the body regions merging together in the body diffusion becoming a single body region underneath the blocking stumps; (c) applying a second mask for forming a plurality of gates covering a portion of areas between the blocking stumps defining an implant window; (d) implanting a body dopant through the implant window followed by a body diffusion for forming a body region underneath the blocking stumps; (e) implanting the source dopant through the implant window over the source implant blocking stumps following by a source diffusion for forming separate source regions underneath the blocking stumps; (f) depositing an insulating dielectric BPSG/PSG layer; (g) employing a contact mask …
