Abstract
An improved power MOSFET of a split gate structure including a gate electrode and a field plate electrode in a trench is disclosed. The improved power MOSFET includes a field plate electrode FP formed at a lower portion of a trench TR and a gate electrode GE formed an upper portion of the trench TR. The field plate electrode FP further includes a contact portion FPa which is formed at the upper portion of the trench TR to provide a source potential. The gate electrode GE further includes a connecting portion GEa at the both sides of the contact portion FPa in the trench TR. The connecting portion GEa electrically connects between one portion of the gate electrode GE at a region 2A side and the other portion of the gate electrode GE at a region 2A' side.
