Abstract
This invention discloses a trenched metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) cell. The trenched MOSFET cell includes a trenched gate opened from a top surface of the semiconductor substrate surrounded by a source region encompassed in a body region above a drain region disposed on a bottom surface of a substrate. The trenched gate further includes at least two mutually insulated trench-filling segments each filled with materials of different work functions. In an exemplary embodiment, the trenched gate includes a polysilicon segment at a bottom portion of the trenched gate and a metal segment at a top portion of the trenched gate.
