Abstract

In one general aspect, a method of forming a field effect transistor can include forming a well region in a semiconductor region of a first conductivity type where the well region is of a second conductivity type and has an upper surface and a lower surface. The method can include forming a gate trench extending into the semiconductor region to a depth below a depth of the lower surface of the well region, and forming a stripe trench extending through the well region and into the semiconductor region to a depth below the depth of the gate trench. The method can also include forming a contiguous source region of the first conductivity type in the well region where the source region being in contact with the gate trench and in contact with the stripe trench.
