Abstract
In an example, a semiconductor device includes an active trench region and an intersecting trench. The active region includes an active shield electrode and the intersecting trench includes an intersecting shield electrode. A coupling trench region connects the active trench region to the intersecting trench region. The coupling trench region includes a coupling shield electrode. The coupling shield electrode and the intersecting shield electrode are provided proximate to a termination mesa region. One or more of the coupling shield electrode or the intersecting shield electrode is thinner than the active shield electrode. The thinner shield electrode reduces depletion in the termination mesa region to improve, among other things, breakdown voltage performance.
