Abstract

A trench MOSFET device includes a semiconductor layer of a first doping type. MOS transistor cells are in a body region of a second doping type in the semiconductor layer. The transistor cells include a first cell type including a first trench providing a first gate electrode or the first gate electrode is on the semiconductor surface between the first trench and a second trench, and a first source region is formed in the body region. The first gate electrode is electrically isolated from the first source region. A second cell type has a third trench providing a second gate electrode or the second gate electrode is on the semiconductor surface between the third trench and a fourth trench, and a second source region is in the body region. An electrically conductive member directly connects the second gate electrode, first source region and second source region together.
