Mesa termination structures for power semiconductor devices and methods of forming power semiconductor devices with mesa termination structures
A method of forming an electronic device, including forming a preliminary buffer layer on a drift layer, forming a first layer on the preliminary buffer layer, selectively etching the first layer to form a first mesa that exposes a portion of the preliminary buffer layer, and selectively etching the exposed portion of the preliminary buffer layer to form a second mesa that covers a first portion of the drift layer, that exposes a second portion of the drift layer, and that includes a mesa step that protrudes from the first mesa. Dopants are selectively implanted into the drift layer adjacent the second mesa to form a junction termination region in the drift layer. Dopants are selectively implanted through a horizontal surface of the mesa step into a portion of the drift layer beneath the mesa step to form a buried junction extension in the drift layer.
