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 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first trench disposed in a semiconductor region and including a gate electrode; a second trench disposed in the semiconductor region; a mesa region disposed between the first trench and the second trench; a source region of a first conductivity type disposed in a top portion of the mesa region; an epitaxial layer of the first conductivity type; 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 second conductivity type being different than the first conductivity type; and 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, and in contact with the pillar and a second portion of the source region is disposed above, and in contact with the pillar.
