Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first trench and a second trench in a first main surface of a semiconductor substrate. Each of the first and second trenches includes first sections extending lengthwise in a first direction and a second section extending lengthwise in a second direction transvers to the first direction, the second section of the first trench being disposed opposite to the second section of the second trench. The semiconductor device further includes a semiconductor mesa separating the first and second trenches, and a source metal layer above the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate and electrically connected to source regions in the semiconductor mesa. Corresponding methods of manufacture are also described.

Claim (Index 18):
The transistor device of  claim 17 , wherein the gate electrode in the first trench is interrupted in at least one of the first sections of the first trench before reaching the second section of the first trench and separated from the second section of the first trench by a dielectric material, and wherein the part of the gate electrode that is separated from the second section of the first trench is electrically connected to the source metal layer.
