When fabricating trench power transistor arrangements ( 1 ) with active cell array trenches ( 5 ) and passive connecting trenches ( 6 ), the cell array trenches ( 5 ) are provided in greater width than the connecting trenches ( 6 ). An auxiliary layer ( 24 ) is deposited conformally onto a lower field electrode structure ( 11 ) in the cell array trenches ( 5 ) and the connecting trenches ( 6 ) and is etched back as far as the top edge in the connecting trenches ( 6 ), which removes it from the cell array trenches ( 5 ). The auxiliary layer ( 24 ) allows the gate oxide ( 20 ) to be patterned without a complex mask process. An edge trench ( 7 ), with an electrode, on the potential of the field electrode structure ( 11 ) shields the cell array ( 3 ) from a drain potential.
