Abstract
An improved inverted field-effect-transistor semiconductor device and method of making thereof may comprise a source layer on a bottom and a drain disposed on a top of a semiconductor substrate and a vertical current conducting channel between the source layer and the drain controlled by a trench gate electrode disposed in a gate trench lined with an insulating material. A heavily doped drain region is disposed near the top of the substrate surrounding an upper portion of a shield trench and the gate trench. A doped body contact region is disposed in the substrate and surrounding a lower portion of the shield trench. A shield electrode extends upward from the source layer in the shield trench for electrically shorting the source layer and the body region wherein the shield structure extends upward to a heavily doped drain region and is insulated from the heavily doped drain region to act as a shield electrode.
