Abstract

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first type dopant. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device also includes an epitaxial layer above the substrate, having a second type dopant and a top region. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device also includes a trench in the top region of the epitaxial layer; at least one doped ring implanted in the epitaxial layer below the trench; and a dielectric material filling within the trench. In some embodiments, there is a twelve-sided body tie in the epitaxial layer, wherein the sides of the twelve-sided body tie are not all equal to each other.
