The first diffusion region 105 may protrude from the second source contact region 109 in a direction away from the gate oxide structure 115. The first metal layer 119 makes schottky contact with the first diffusion region 105. The thin size of the first metal layer 119 may allow structures, such as the protective layer 104, under the first diffusion region 105 to remain exposed.

The second metal layer 120 may be electrically connected to the first metal layer 119 and may extend to the protection layer 104. The source cover 118 may be located at a side of the first source contact region 108 facing away from the channel layer 107, and may cover the second source contact region 109 and a portion of the first source contact region 108.

Illustratively, portions of the second source contact region 109 at other cell locations remain unperforated from the first diffusion region 105, which second source contact region 109 may be formed by controlling the depth of ion implantation.
When the second trench 112 is etched, the portion of the second source contact region 109 at B-B is also etched, forming a step shape. The depth of the trench shape of the second trench 112 at B-B may exceed the first source contact region 108 and extend at least into the channel layer 107. Illustratively, the trench depth at B-B may be different from the trench depths at other locations, and may be achieved by step etching, for example, where the second trenches 112 at the first cells still extend through the first diffusion region 105. Then, in the step of forming the source structure 116, the source extension 117 to be formed fills the second trench 112 also at B-B or the source extension 117 to be formed may fill the gap of the second source contact region 109.
