Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing semiconductor substrate having trenches and mesas. At least one mesa has first and second sidewalls. The method includes angularly implanting a dopant of a second conductivity into the first sidewall, and angularly implanting a dopant of a second conductivity into the second sidewall. The at least one mesa is converted to a pillar by diffusing the dopants into the at least one mesa. The pillar is then converted to a column by angularly implanting a dopant of the first conductivity into a first sidewall of the pillar, and by angularly implanting the dopant of the first conductivity type into a second sidewall of the pillar. The dopants are then diffused into the pillar to provide a P-N junction of the first and second doped regions located along the depth direction of the adjoining trench. Finally, the trenches are filled with an insulating material.
