Abstract

According to various embodiments, a semiconductor device may include: a semiconductor substrate; a deep trench extending from a first portion of the semiconductor substrate to a second portion of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the second portion underlies the first portion; and an insulator region at least substantially lining sides of the deep trench. The insulator region includes at least one shallow trench in the first portion of the semiconductor substrate. At least a portion of the shallow trench(es) is arranged over at least a portion of the deep trench.
