<p>Integrated power semiconductor devices having improved high frequency switching performance, improved edge termination characteristics and reduced on-state resistance include GD-UMOSFET unit cells with upper trench-based gate electrodes and lower-trench based source electrodes. The use of the trench-based source electrode instead of a larger gate electrode reduces the gate-to-drain capacitance (CGD) of the UMOSFET and improves switching speed by reducing the amount of gate charging and discharging current that is needed during high frequency operation.</p> |
