Abstract
A lateral trench MOSFET includes a trench containing a device segment and a gate bus segment. The gate bus segment of the trench is contacted by a conductive plug formed in a dielectric layer overlying the substrate, thereby avoiding the need for the conventional surface polysilicon bridge layer. The conductive plug is formed in a substantially vertical hole in the dielectric layer. The gate bus segment may be wider than the device segment of the trench. A method includes forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) while the conductive material in the trench is etched.
