Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an array of needle-shaped trenches extending into a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a gate trench grid extending into the semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode of a transistor structure is located within the gate trench grid. A gate wiring structure of the transistor structure is connected to the gate electrode of the transistor structure. A field electrode located within at least one needle-shaped trench of the array of needle-shaped trenches is connected to the gate wiring structure of the transistor structure.
