In this letter, a novel trench termination structure that can inhibit the r
everse leakage current substantially and reduce the process cost is introdu
ced. For trench type power devices, such as trench MOS barrier Schottky (TM
BS) diode, this new termination structure can be processed simultaneously w
ith the active region without any additional mask. Simulation and experimen
tal results show that TMBS diode with this new termination structure can ac
hieve a reverse blocking voltage of 100 V with a leakage-current density as
low as 8.4 x 10(-4) A/cm(2).
