Abstract
A shield trench power device such as a trench MOSFET or IGBT employs a gate structure with an underlying polysilicon shield region overlying a shield region in an epitaxial or crystalline layer of the device. The polysilicon region may be laterally confined by spacers in a gate trench and may contact or be isolated from the underlying shield region. Alternatively, the polysilicon region may be replaced with an insulating region.
