Abstract
A semiconductor device includes trench gate structures that extend from a first surface into a silicon carbide portion. A shielding region between a drift zone and the trench gate structures along a vertical direction orthogonal to the first surface forms an auxiliary pn junction with the drift zone. Channel regions and the trench gate structures are successively arranged along a first horizontal direction. The channel regions are arranged between a source region and a current spread region along a second horizontal direction orthogonal to the first horizontal direction. Portions of mesa sections between neighboring trench gate structures fully deplete at a gate voltage within an absolute maximum rating of the semiconductor device.
