Abstract

A method for fabricating a high voltage power MOSFFT having a voltage sustaining region that includes doped columns formed by rapid diffusion. A high voltage semiconductor device having a substrate of a first or second conductivity type, an epitaxial layer of the first conductivity on the substrate, and a voltage sustaining region formed in the epitaxial layer, the voltage sustaining region including a column having a second conductivity type formed along at least outer sidewalls of a filled trench, the column including at least one first diffused region and a second diffused region, the first diffused region being connected by the second region and the second region having a junction depth measured from the trench sidewall that is less than the junction depth of the first region and a third region of a second conductivity type that extends from the surface of the epitaxial layer to intersect at least one of the first and second regions of second conductivity type.
