In one embodiment, the semiconductor devices relate to using one or more super-junction trenches for termination.

A super junction structure having a high aspect ratio is formed. An epitaxial layer is dividedly formed in layers using the trench fill process, and when each of the layers has been formed, trenches are formed in that layer. For example, when a first epitaxial layer has been formed, first trenches are formed in the epitaxial layer. Subsequently, when a second epitaxial layer has been formed, second trenches are formed in the epitaxial layer. Subsequently, when a third epitaxial layer has been formed, third trenches are formed in the third epitaxial layer.
