Abstract
A trench MOSFET comprising a plurality of transistor cells having shielded trenched gates and multiple trenched floating gates as termination region is disclosed. The trenched floating gates have trench depth equal to or deeper than body junction depth of body regions in termination area. In some preferred embodiments, the trenched floating gates in the termination area are implemented by using shielded electrode structure.
