Power MOSFET and JBSFET cell topologies with superior high frequency figure of merit

A vertical insulated-gate field effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode on a first surface thereof. This gate electrode has a plurality of eight (or more) sided openings extending therethrough. Each of these openings has eight (or more) sidewalls, including a first plurality of sidewalls that are flat relative to a center of the opening and second plurality of sidewalls that are either flat or concave relative to the center of the opening. A source electrode is also provided, which extends into the openings. This source electrode may ohmically contact a source region within the semiconductor substrate. If the field effect transistor is a JBSFET, the source electrode may also form a Schottky rectifying junction with a drift region within the semiconductor substrate.

Monolithically-integrated AC switch having JBSFETs therein with commonly-connected drain and cathode electrodes

A monolithically-integrated AC switch includes a semiconductor substrate having first and second insulated-gate field effect transistors therein, which contain first and second spaced-apart and independently-controllable source terminals extending adjacent a first surface of the semiconductor substrate, yet share a common drain electrode extending adjacent a second surface of the semiconductor substrate. According to some of these embodiments of the invention, the first and second insulated-gate field effect transistors include respective first and second independently-controllable gate electrodes, which extend adjacent the first surface. The first and second insulated-gate field effect transistors may be configured as first and second vertical power MOSFETs, respectively. The semiconductor substrate may also include at least one edge termination region therein, which extends between the first and second vertical power MOSFETs.
