Abstract
In one implementation, a reduced gate charge field-effect transistor (FET) includes a drift region situated over a drain, a body situated over the drift region, and source diffusions formed in the body. The source diffusions are adjacent a gate trench extending through the body into the drift region and having a dielectric liner and a gate electrode situated therein. The dielectric liner includes an upper segment and a lower segment, the upper segment extending to at least a depth of the source diffusions and being significantly thicker than the lower segment.
