Abstract:
1. A method for producing an integrated circuit including a trench transistor having a drift zone and a body zone adjacent to the drift zone, the method comprising: providing a semiconductor body having a first side and a first semiconductor zone of a first conduction type; producing a first trench, which has trench sidewalls and a trench bottom and which extends into the semiconductor body proceeding from the first side; producing at least one first spacer at the trench sidewalls which leaves free a section of the trench bottom; producing a second semiconductor zone of a second conduction type complementary to the first conduction type, which second semiconductor zone is adjacent to the first semiconductor zone in the direction of the first side of the semiconductor body and extends in the direction of the first semiconductor zone as far as below the trench bottom; producing at least one third semiconductor zone of the first conduction type by introducing dopant atoms via the left-free section of the trench bottom, the first and the at least one third semiconductor zone forming the drift zone and the second semiconductor zone forming the body zone at least in sections; producing a further trench extending through the third semiconductor zone right into the first semiconductor zone proceeding from that section of the trench bottom of the first trench which is left free by the at least one first spacer; and producing a field electrode dielectrically insulated from the semiconductor body in the further trench.
