Abstract

Semiconductor structures such as the trench and planar MOSFETs (UMOS), trench and planar IGBTs and trench MCTs using trenches to establish a conductor. Improved control of the parasitic transistor in the trench MOSFET is also achieved and cell size and pitch is reduced relative to conventional structures.
