Abstract
A method for forming a shielded gate field effect transistor (FET) includes forming a plurality of trenches in a semiconductor region and forming a shield electrode in a bottom portion of each trench. The method also includes forming a dielectric layer comprising a first oxide layer and a nitride layer both laterally extending over the shield electrode. The method also includes forming a gate electrode over the dielectric layer.

32. A method for forming a shielded gate field effect transistor (FET), the method comprising:
-
forming a plurality of trenches in a semiconductor region; forming a shield dielectric lining opposing sidewalls and bottom of each trench; forming a shield electrode in a bottom portion of each trench over the shield dielectric; recessing the shield dielectric below a top surface of the shield electrode so as to form recesses between an upper portion of the shield electrode and the semiconductor region; forming a nitride layer over the shield electrode in each trench, the nitride layer partially filling the recesses; and forming a gate electrode in an upper portion of each trench over the nitride layer. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36)
