In one embodiment, a RESURF structure between a source and a drain in a lateral MOSFET is formed in a trench having a flat bottom surface and angled sidewalls toward the source. Alternating P and N-type layers are epitaxially grown in the trench, and their charges balanced to achieve a high breakdown voltage. In the area of the source, the ends of the P and N-layers angle upward to the surface under the lateral gate and contact the body region. Thus, for an N-channel MOSFET, a positive gate voltage above the threshold forms a channel between the source and the N-layers in the RESURF structure as well as creates an inversion of the ends of the P-layers near the surface for low on-resistance. In another embodiment, the RESURF structure is vertically corrugated by being formed around trenches, thus extending the length of the RESURF structure for a higher breakdown voltage.
