Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor component includes forming a first electrically insulating layer (120) and a second electrically insulating layer (130) over a semiconductor substrate (110). The method further includes etching a first trench (140) and a second trench (150) through the first and second electrically insulating layers and into the semiconductor substrate, and etching a third trench (610) through a bottom surface of the second trench and into the semiconductor substrate. The third trench has a first portion (920) and a second portion (930) interior to the first portion. The method still further includes forming a third electrically insulating layer (910) filling the first trench and the first portion of the third trench without filling the second portion of the third trench, and also includes forming a plug layer (1010) in the second portion of the third trench.
