A novel superjunction (SJ) vertical UMOSFET with semi-insulating POly-crystalline silicon pillar (SIPOS SJ-UMOS) is proposed and its mechanism is investigated by TCAD simulations. In the off-state, the reshape effect of SIPOS pillars enhances the vertical electric field strength and weakens the lateral field component, which increases the breakdown voltage (BV). In addition, the highly doped N-pillars are allowed for the proposed device due to the enhanced depletion by the SIPOS pillars, which leads to a low specific ON resistance (R-ON, (sp)). In the on-state, an accumulation layer is formed in drift region leading to an additional reduction in the RON, sp. Simulation results show that the RON, sp decreases 59%, and BV increases by 16.7%, simultaneously, breaking the SJ silicon limit, comparedwith those of a conventionalSJ-UMOS with the same drift length. Moreover, the charge-imbalance endurance of SIPOS SJ-UMOS is also improved.
