Abstract

Power devices which include trench Schottky barrier diodes and also (preferably) trench-gate transistors. Isolation trenches flank both the gate regions and the diode mesas, and have an additional diffusion below the bottom of the isolation trenches. The additional diffusion helps to reduce the electric field (and leakage), when the device is in the OFF state, at both the Schottky barrier and at the body diode.
