Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first trench disposed in a semiconductor material, wherein a width of the first trench in an upper portion of the first trench adjacent to a surface of the semiconductor material is smaller than a width of the first trench in a lower portion of the first trench, the lower portion being disposed within the semiconductor material, each width being measured in a plane parallel to a surface of the semiconductor material, each width denoting a distance between inner faces of remaining semiconductor material portions or between outer faces of a filling disposed in the first trench, or between an inner face of a remaining semiconductor material portion and an outer face of a filling disposed in the first trench.
