Abstract
A method of manufacturing a superjunction device includes providing a semiconductor wafer having at least one die. At least one first trench having a first orientation is formed in the at least one die. At least one second trench having a second orientation that is different from the first orientation is formed in the at least one die.
Claims5
A superjunction device comprising:
- (a) a semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer including at least one die;
- (b) at least one first trench formed in the at least one die, the at least one first trench having a first orientation and defining a first area;
- and
- (c) at least one second trench formed in the at least one die, the at least one second trench having a second orientation that is different from the first orientation, the at least one second trench defining a second area such that a ratio of the first area to the second area is about one-to-one.

A superjunction device comprising:
- (a) a semiconductor wafer, the semiconductor wafer including at least one die;
- (b) a first plurality of trenches in the at least one die, each of the first plurality of trenches having a first orientation, the first plurality of trenches defining a first area;
- and
- (c) a second plurality of trenches in the at least one die, each of the second plurality of trenches having a second orientation that is different from the first orientation, the second plurality of trenches defining a second area such that a ratio of the first area to the second area is about one-to-one.
