<p>In semiconductor devices which include an insulated trench electrode (11) in a trench (20), for example, trench-gate field effect power transistors and trenched Schottky diodes, a cavity (23) is provided between the bottom (25) of the trench electrode (11) and the bottom (27) of the trench (20) to reduce the dielectric coupling between the trench electrode (11) and the body portion at the bottom (27) of the trench in a compact manner. In power transistors, the reduction in dielectric coupling reduces switching power losses, and in Schottky diodes, it enables the trench width to be reduced.</p> |
