Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type. A first conductivity type epitaxial layer disposed on a top surface of the substrate includes a surface shielded region above a less heavily doped voltage blocking region. A body region of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type is disposed near a top surface of the surface shielded region. A first conductivity type source region is disposed near the top surface inside the body region. A drain is disposed at a bottom surface of the substrate. A gate overlaps portions of the source and body regions. Gate insulation separates the gate from the source and body regions. First and second trenches formed in the surface shielded region are lined with trench insulation material and filled with electrically conductive trench filling material. Second conductivity type buried doped regions are positioned below the first and second trenches, respectively.
