Abstract

A power MOSFET includes a gate electrode in a gate trench in a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, the gate trench extending parallel to the main surface. The power MOSFET further includes a field electrode in a field plate trench in the main surface. The field plate trench has an extension length in a first direction which is less than double and more than half of an extension length of the field plate trench in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first and the second directions being parallel to the main surface. The gate electrode includes a gate electrode material which comprises a metal.
