Semiconductor device having stripe-shaped trench gate structure and gate connector structure

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a transistor cell with a stripe-shaped trench gate structure that extends from a first surface into a semiconductor body. A gate connector structure at a distance to the first surface is electrically connected to a gate electrode in the trench gate structure. A gate dielectric separates the gate electrode from the semiconductor body. First sections of the gate dielectric outside a vertical projection of the gate connector structure are thinner than second sections within the vertical projection of the gate connector structure.
