Abstract
In at least one general aspect, an apparatus can include a first trench disposed in a semiconductor region and including a gate electrode, and a second trench disposed in the semiconductor region. The apparatus can include a mesa region disposed between the first trench and the second trench, and a source region of a first conductivity type disposed in a top portion of the mesa region. The apparatus includes a plurality of body region segments of a second conductivity type disposed in the side of the mesa region. The plurality of body region segments define an alternating pattern with the plurality of source region segments along the side of the mesa region.
