Abstract:
A field effect transistor (FET) includes body regions of a first conductivity type over a semiconductor region of a second conductivity type. Source regions of the second conductivity type extend over the body regions. Gate electrodes extend adjacent to but are insulated from the body regions by a gate dielectric layer. Contact openings extend into the body regions between adjacent gate electrodes. A seed layer extends along the bottom of each contact opening. The seed layer serves as a nucleation site for promoting growth of conductive fill material. A conductive fill material fills a lower portion of each contact opening. An interconnect layer fills an upper portion of each contact opening and is in direct contact with the conductive fill material. The interconnect layer is also in direct contact with corresponding source regions along upper sidewalls of the contact openings.

Abstract:
A field effect transistor (FET) includes a pair of trenches extending into a semiconductor region. Each trench includes a first shield electrode in a lower portion of the trench and a gate electrode in an upper portion of the trench over but insulated from the shield electrode. First and second well regions of a first conductivity type laterally extend in the semiconductor region between the pair of trenches and abut sidewalls of the pair of trenches. The first and second well regions are vertically spaced from one another by a first drift region of a second conductivity type. The gate electrode and the first shield electrode are positioned relative to the first and second well regions such that a channel is formed in each of the first and second well regions when the FET is biased in the on state.
