A method and a structure for enhancing electrical insulation and dynamic performance of mis structures comprising vertical field plates

摘要

A method of forming an MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure, the method comprising: forming a first semiconductor electrode in a cavity formed in a crystalline semiconductor region by depositing a first silicon containing layer provided with an increased oxidation rate relatively to an exposed surface of said crystalline semiconductor region in said cavity and depositing a second silicon containing layer above said silicon containing layer with a different oxidation rate relatively to said silicon containing layer, said first semiconductor electrode being electrically insulated from said crystalline semiconductor region by an insulating layer, concurrently oxidizing said exposed surface of said crystalline semiconductor region in said cavity and an exposed surface of said first semiconductor electrode so as to form a first oxide layer on said exposed surface of said first semiconductor electrode and a second oxide layer on said exposed surface of said crystalline semiconductor region and forming a second semiconductor electrode in said cavity and above said first semiconductor electrode, said second semiconductor electrode being electrically isolated from said first semiconductor electrode by said first oxide layer.
