Abstract

This invention discloses semiconductor power device that includes a plurality of top electrical terminals disposed near a top surface of a semiconductor substrate. Each and every one of the top electrical terminals comprises a terminal contact layer formed as a silicide contact layer near the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The trench gates of the semiconductor power device are opened from the top surface of the semiconductor substrate and each and every one of the trench gates comprises the silicide layer configured as a recessed silicide contact layer disposed on top of every on of the trench gates slightly below a top surface of the semiconductor substrate surround the trench gate.
