Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a first side. A trench having a bottom is formed. The trench separates a first mesa region from a second mesa region formed in the semiconductor substrate. The trench is filled with an insulating material, and the second mesa region is removed relative to the insulating material filled in the trench to form a recess in the semiconductor substrate. In a common process, a first silicide layer is formed on and in contact with a top region of the first mesa region at the first side of the semiconductor substrate and a second silicide layer is formed on and in contact with the bottom of the recess.
