Abstract

A semiconductor device embodiment includes a substrate, an active gate trench in the substrate, and an asymmetric trench in the substrate. The asymmetric trench has a first trench wall and a second trench wall, the first trench wall is lined with oxide having a first thickness, and the second trench wall is lined with oxide having a second thickness that is different from the first thickness. Another semiconductor device embodiment includes a substrate, an active gate trench in the substrate; and a source polysilicon pickup trench in the substrate. The source polysilicon pickup trench includes a polysilicon electrode, and top surface of the polysilicon electrode is below a bottom of a body region. Another semiconductor device includes a substrate, an active gate trench in the substrate, the active gate trench has a first top gate electrode and a first bottom source electrode, and a gate runner trench comprising a second top gate electrode and a second bottom source electrode. The second top gate electrode is narrower than the second bottom source electrode.
