Within the active region, the diode-like trench 4 has a greater trench depth than the cell trench 3 of any SGT cell.
It will be appreciated that the shielded gate power device may be the SGT MOSFET device, SGT IGBT device, or other type of power device mentioned above, and the type of shielded gate power device may be selected as desired, so as to meet the actual application requirements. For the shielded gate power device, the semiconductor substrate is generally included, that is, the power device is generally fabricated on the semiconductor substrate, the conductivity type of the semiconductor substrate is N-type, and fig. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the semiconductor substrate, in which the semiconductor substrate includes a substrate 1 and an epitaxial layer 2 on the substrate 1, and at this time, the conductivity types of the substrate 1 and the epitaxial layer 2 are both N-type. Generally, the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 2 is smaller than that of the substrate 1, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 2 is larger than that of the substrate 1, and the conditions of the substrate 1 and the epitaxial layer 2 are consistent with those of the conventional semiconductor substrate, and are not repeated here.

The shielding grid power device comprises a plurality of SGT cells in an active area, wherein the SGT cells in the active area are connected in parallel into a whole, and the number of the SGT cells in the active area can be selected according to actual scenes so as to meet actual requirements.
In order to improve the reverse recovery efficiency and the reverse recovery capability of the shielded gate power device, it is known from the above description that at least one schottky-like diode can be disposed in the active region, that is, the disposed schottky-like diode can be utilized to improve the reverse recovery efficiency and the reverse recovery capability of the shielded gate power device. Meanwhile, after the schottky-like diode is arranged in the active region, leakage current of the shielded gate power device is increased, avalanche capacity is reduced, and it can be understood that after the schottky-like diode is arranged, a region where leakage occurs, namely a region where the schottky-like diode is arranged.
In order to reduce the leakage current of the shielded gate power device and enhance the avalanche capability, in one embodiment of the present invention, the schottky-like diode is selected to be a trench schottky-like diode, and thus the schottky-like diode at least includes a schottky-like diode trench 4 located in the active region, and of course, a corresponding schottky-like diode structure is also required to be prepared in the schottky-like diode trench 4, and the schottky-like diode structure will be described in detail below.

In fig. 1 to 5, in the diode-like trench 4, the second electrode body 17 in the trench is adjacent to the notch of the diode-like trench 4, the length direction of the first electrode body 15 in the trench is consistent with the length direction of the diode-like trench 4, the lower end of the first electrode body 15 in the trench is adjacent to the bottom of the diode-like trench 4, and the upper end of the first electrode body 15 in the trench is correspondingly matched with the second electrode body 17 in the trench. Specifically, the first electrode body 15 in the groove includes a first region of the first electrode body in the groove entering the second electrode body 17 in the groove and a second region of the first electrode body in the groove located below the second electrode body 17 in the groove, and an embodiment in which the first region of the first electrode body in the groove is smaller than the height/thickness of the second electrode body 17 in the groove is shown in fig. 1, 2, 4 and 5, and an embodiment in which the first region of the first electrode body in the groove is the same as the height/thickness of the second electrode body 17 in the groove is shown in fig. 3.

The in-trench gate oxide 16 is in contact with the in-trench field oxide 14 so that the inner walls and bottom walls of the diode-like trench 4 are covered with oxide. Optionally, the thickness of the electrode body isolation dielectric layer 18 corresponds to the thickness of the in-trench gate oxide layer 16; of course, the thickness of the electrode body isolation dielectric layer 18 may be different from the thickness of the in-trench gate oxide layer 16, and may be specifically selected as needed.
