Appeal No. 95-5110 Application 07/918,954 Therefore, claims 2 through 4, 7 and 10 through 12 are pending and stand rejected. The invention is directed to field effect transistors in which the transistor gate is located in a trench in a substrate having a lightly doped epitaxal layer at the principal surface of the substrate. Appellants disclose on pages 4 and 5 of the specification that Figure 2 shows a cross section of a field effect transistor in accordance with the invention. In particular, Figure 2 shows a conventional heavily doped N+ substrate 40 being a drain region, a first epitaxial layer 42 of a N doped conductivity type formed on the substrate 40, a second layer 46 of a N- doped conductivity type formed on the first layer 42, a trench 54 in the second layer 46 extending to within 0.5 Fm of the first layer 42, a source region 52 of a N+ doped conductivity type formed in the second layer 46 and a body region of a P doped conductivity typed extending from the principle surface of the second layer 46 down to and into at least an upper portion of the first layer 42 and being spaced apart from the lower portion of the trench 54. 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
