Abstract:
In at least one general aspect, an apparatus can include a first trench disposed in a semiconductor region and including a gate electrode, and a second trench disposed in the semiconductor region. The apparatus can include a mesa region disposed between the first trench and the second trench, and a source region of a first conductivity type disposed in a top portion of the mesa region. The apparatus can include an epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type, and a body region of a second conductivity type disposed in the mesa region and disposed between the source region and the epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type. The apparatus can include a pillar of the second conductivity type disposed in the mesa region such that a first portion of the source region is disposed lateral to the pillar and a second portion of the source region is disposed above the pillar.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the mesa region has a length aligned along a longitudinal axis orthogonal to a vertical axis along a height of the mesa region and orthogonal to a width of the mesa region,\n the first portion of the source region is discontinuous along the length of the mesa region.
