In one embodiment, the power field-effect transistor (1) comprises: at least two source regions (21) at a top side (20) of a semiconductor body (2), a drain region (22) at a back side (23) of the semiconductor body (2), at least two charge barrier regions (24) in the semiconductor body (2) so that electrically between each one of the source regions (21) and the drain region (22) there is one of the charge barrier regions (24), and a gate electrode (3) located in a trench (4) in the semiconductor body (2), and the charge barrier regions (24) are located adjacent to the trench (4), wherein, next to the trench (4) and seen in a first plane (A) perpendicular with the top side (21) and a main elongation direction (L) of the trench (4), the top side (21) is formed only by the source regions (21).
A power field-effect transistor comprising:
A method for manufacturing a power field-effect transistor comprising at least two source region at a top side of a semiconductor body, at least one drain region at a back side of the semiconductor body, at least two charge barrier regions in the semiconductor body so that electrically between each one of the source regions and the at least one drain region there is one of the charge barrier regions, and at least one gate electrode that is at least partially located in at least one trench in the semiconductor body, and the at least two charge barrier regions are located adjacent to the at least one trench, wherein, seen in the first plane, the at least one gate electrode comprises two electrically conductive wall regions located at trench walls of the at least one trench, wherein a trench bottom of the trench is partially free of the at least one gate electrode, and wherein, seen in the first plane, at least one of the following applies:
