Abstract:
A trench structure is located directly laterally between a first well and a first source region for a first transistor and the second well region with a second source for a second transistor. The trench structure includes a first gate structure for the first transistor, a second gate structure for the second transistor, a first conductive field plate structure, and a second conductive field plate structure. The first gate structure, the first field plate structure, the second field plate structure, and the second gate structure are located in the trench structure in a lateral line between the first well region and the second well region. The trench structure includes a dielectric separating the first field plate structure and the second field plate structure from each other in the lateral line. A drain region for the first transistor and the second transistor includes a portion located directly below the trench structure.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 11  further comprising:\n forming a second trench in the substrate, the second trench laterally surrounding the trench; \n wherein the forming a layer of field plate material in the trench includes forming the layer of field plate material in the second trench; \n forming a third conductive field plate structure from the layer of field plate material in the second trench; \n forming a third gate structure in the second trench; \n electrically coupling the third gate structure to the second gate structure so as to be biased at a same potential during operation; and \n electrically coupling the third conductive field plate structure to the second conductive field plate so as to be biased at a same potential during operation.
