Abstract

A method forming a current path in a substrate (322) having a first conductivity type is disclosed. The method includes forming an impurity region (314) having a second conductivity type and extending from a face of the substrate to a first depth. A hole (305) is formed in the impurity region. A first dielectric layer (360-364) is formed on an inner surface of the hole. A first electrode (306) is formed in the hole adjacent the dielectric layer.
