1. A semiconductor device structure comprising:

  • a region of semiconductor material comprising;

    a semiconductor substrate;

    a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type and a first dopant concentration on the semiconductor substrate; and

    a second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer, the second semiconductor layer having the first conductivity type, having a second dopant concentration greater than the first dopant concentration, and having a major surface;

    a first trench structure in the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer extending from the major surface, and wherein the first trench structure comprises;

    a first trench terminating within the first semiconductor layer; and

    a first insulated electrode;

    a second trench structure in the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer extending from the major surface and laterally spaced apart from the first trench structure, and wherein the second trench structure comprises;

    a second trench terminating within the first semiconductor layer; and

    a second insulated electrode;

    a first conductive structure electrically coupled to the second semiconductor layer, wherein the second semiconductor layer is a continuous layer extending between the first trench and the second trench; and

    a first doped region of the second conductivity type in the second semiconductor layer, wherein;

    a portion of the second semiconductor layer separates the first doped region from the first trench structure,another portion of the second semiconductor layer separates the first doped region from the second trench structure, anda further portion of the second semiconductor layer separates the first doped region from the first semiconductor layer.
