Abstract

A screen oxide layer is formed on a main surface of a semiconductor layer and a passivation layer is formed on the screen oxide layer. A gate trench is formed in a portion of the semiconductor layer exposed by a mask opening in a trench mask that comprises the passivation layer. A gate dielectric is formed at least along sidewalls of the gate trench. After removing the passivation layer, dopants are implanted through the screen oxide layer to form at least one of a source zone and a body zone in the semiconductor layer.
