Abstract
A transistor device includes a first trench and a second trench arranged in a comb-like structure, first sections of the first and second trenches corresponding to teeth of the comb-like structure and second sections of the first and second trenches corresponding to opposing shafts of the comb-like structure. The arrangement of the first trench and the second trench forms a pattern of interdigitated fingers. Transistor cells of the transistor device are disposed between single fingers of the first and second trenches. A semiconductor mesa separates the first trench and the second trench from each other. A gate electrode in the first trench or a gate electrode in the second trench is electrically connected to a source potential instead of a gate potential to decrease a gate charge of the transistor device.
