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 13):
The semiconductor device of  claim 1 , wherein the SiC semiconductor body is a 4H-SiC semiconductor body, and wherein a sidewall plane of the first sidewall is (11-20).
