Semiconductor Device and Method of Forming MOSFET Optimized for RDSON and/or COSS

Abstract

A semiconductor device has a substrate and semiconductor layer formed over the substrate. A trench is formed through the semiconductor layer. An insulating material is disposed in the trench. A first column of semiconductor material having a first conductivity type extends through the semiconductor layer adjacent to the trench. A second column of semiconductor material having a second conductivity type extends through the semiconductor layer adjacent to the first column of semiconductor material. A first insulating layer is formed between the insulating material and a side surface of the trench. A source region is formed within the semiconductor layer. A gate region is formed adjacent to the insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed between the gate region and source region. A conductive layer is formed over the semiconductor layer. The source region is coupled to the conductive layer.
