Abstract

The gate oxide in the trenches of a trench type Schottky device are formed by oxidizing a layer of polysilicon deposited in trenches of a silicon or silicon carbide substrate. A small amount of the substrate is also oxidized to create a good interface between the substrate and the oxide layer which is formed. The corners of the trench are rounded by the initial formation and removal of a sacrificial oxide layer.
