1. A trenched field effect transistor comprising:
- a semiconductor substrate;
a trench extending a predetermined depth into said semiconductor substrate;
a pair of doped source junctions, positioned on opposite sides of the trench;
a doped heavy body positioned adjacent each source junction on the opposite side of the source junction from the trench, the deepest portion of said heavy body extending less deeply into said semiconductor substrate than said predetermined depth of said trench, anda doped well surrounding the heavy body beneath the heavy bodywherein the depth of the doped heavy body region relative to the depth of the doped well is selected so that a peak electric field, when voltage is applied to the transistor, is spaced away from the trench.
