Abstract:
1. A power semiconductor device, comprising: a source metallization; a source region of a first conductivity type, the source region being connected to the source metallization; a body region of a second conductivity type adjacent to the source region; a drift region of a first conductivity type adjacent to the body region; a third conductive region of a second conductivity type buried within the drift region; and a trench extending from the source region through the body region and at least partially into the drift region; the trench adjoining the third conductive region and including a conductive plug and an insulating layer, which insulates the conductive plug from the body region, the conductive plug forming an Ohmic connection between the source metallization and the third conductive region; the conductive plug, the insulating layer and the body region forming a field effect structure having a gate capacitance per unit area.
