Abstract In this paper, a trench metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (UMOSFET) with source-trench oxide is proposed. The proposed device has a higher breakdown voltage of 274 V compared to the conventional structure. In addition, the electric field is dispersed by the source-trench, and thus, the electric field applied to the gate oxide of the device is reduced to 0.7 MV/cm. This reduction improves the reliability of the device. The on-resistance was found to be reduced by 47% when a device with the same breakdown voltage was designed.
