Abstract
One embodiment of a semiconductor device includes a fin at a first side of a semiconductor body, a body region of a second conductivity type in at least a part of the fin, a drain extension region of a first conductivity type, a source region and a drain region of the first conductivity type, a source contact in contact with the source region, and a gate structure adjoining opposing walls of the fin. The source contact extends along a vertical direction along the source region. The source contact includes a conductive material and is disposed in a trench in the semiconductor body, adjacent to the source region. The body region and the drain extension region are arranged one after another between the source region and the drain region.
