Abstract

A semiconductor device is formed with a lower field plate (32) and optional lateral field plates (34) around semiconductor (20) in which devices are formed, for example power FETs or other transistor or diode types. The semiconductor device is manufactured by forming trenches with insulated sidewalls, etching cavities (26) at the base of the trenches which join up and then filling the trenches with conductor (30).
