A semiconductor device including a substrate including a trench; an isolation structure including an inner wall oxide layer pattern, a liner pattern, and a filling insulation pattern stacked in the trench; and a gate structure on the substrate and the isolation structure, wherein the inner wall oxide layer pattern and the liner pattern are conformally formed on a surface of the trench, a top surface of the inner wall oxide layer pattern is lower than an upper surface of the substrate, and a boundary between an upper surface of the inner wall oxide layer pattern and an upper surface of the liner pattern has no step difference.

A first interconnect structure (e.g., a gate interconnect) of a butted contact (BCT) is etched and filled. The first interconnect structure is then etched back such that a portion of the first interconnect structure is removed, then a second interconnect structure and the remaining portion of the first interconnect structure are filled. In this way, the height of the remaining portion of the first interconnect structure that is to be filled is closer to the height of the second interconnect structure when the second interconnect structure is filled relative to fully filling the second interconnect structure and fully filling the first interconnect structure in a single deposition operation. This reduces the likelihood that filling the second interconnect structure will close the first interconnect structure before the first interconnect structure can be fully filled, which may otherwise result in the formation of a void in the first interconnect structure.

A SiC MOSFET device having low specific on resistance is described. The device has N+, P-well and JFET regions extended in one direction (Y-direction) and P+ and source contacts extended in an orthogonal direction (X-direction). The polysilicon gate of the device covers the JFET region and is terminated over the P-well region to minimize electric field at the polysilicon gate edge. In use, current flows vertically from the drain contact at the bottom of the structure into the JFET region and then laterally in the X direction through the accumulation region and through the MOSFET channels into the adjacent N+ region. The current flowing out of the channel then flows along the N+ region in the Y-direction and is collected by the source contacts and the final metal. Methods of making the device are also described.
