Abstract:
Disclosed is a method. The method includes forming a trench structure with at least one first trench in a first section of a semiconductor body; forming a second trench that is wider than the first trench in a second section of the semiconductor body; and forming a semiconductor layer on a surface of the semiconductor body in the first section and the second section and in the at least one first trench and the second trench such that the semiconductor layer has a substantially planar surface above the first section and a residual trench remains above the second section. Forming the semiconductor layer includes forming a first epitaxial layer in a first epitaxial growth process and a second epitaxial layer on top of the first epitaxial layer in a second epitaxial growth process.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 11 , Wherein planarizing the first epitaxial layer comprises at least one of a chemical polishing process and a mechanical polishing process.
