Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a first region and a second region of a first conductivity type and a third region between the first and second regions of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, and being covered by a dielectric layer. A plurality of trenches laterally extend between the third and second region, are filled with an insulating material, and are separated by active stripes with a doping profile having a depth not exceeding the depth of the trenches wherein each trench terminates before reaching the dielectric layer and is separated from the third region by a substrate portion such that the respective boundaries between the substrate portions and the trenches are not covered by the dielectric layer. A method for manufacturing such a semiconductor device is also disclosed.
