Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a trench extending from a first surface into a SiC semiconductor body. The trench has a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and a trench bottom. A gate electrode is arranged in the trench and is electrically insulated from the SiC semiconductor body by a trench dielectric. A body region of a first conductivity type adjoins the first sidewall. A shielding structure of the first conductivity type adjoins at least a portion of the second sidewall and the trench bottom. A first section of the trench bottom and a second section of the trench bottom are offset to one another by a vertical offset along a vertical direction extending from the first surface to a second surface of the SiC semiconductor body opposite to the first surface.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein forming the shielding structure comprises introducing dopants of the first conductivity type into the SiC semiconductor body by at least one ion implantation with an ion implantation energy ranging from 1 MeV to 6 MeV.
