    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plate structure over an isolation region. A drain electrode electrically connected to a drift region underlying the isolation region is formed, wherein the drain electrode is separated from a first location of the plate structure by a first distance along a central axis of an active area of the semiconductor device in a direction of a current flow between a source and a drain of the semiconductor device, the drain electrode is separated from a second location of the plate structure by a second distance along a line parallel to the central axis and within the active area. The first distance is less than the second distance.

    Abstract: A method for reducing transistor sensitivity to shallow trench isolation defects (STI) includes filling a trench formed in a substrate of a semiconductor device, at least partially, with a first oxide, the trench defines an STI and includes a defect extending from the substrate. A mask defines a planar area within the isolation region including a first lateral distance between an edge of the mask and an edge of the isolation region. The first oxide is at least partially removed beneath the planar area with an oxide etch to expose a top portion of the defect. The top portion of the defect is removed with a semiconductor etch. After removing the top portion of the defect, the trench is at least partially filled with a second oxide. A field plate of a split-gate transistor is formed over the STI.
