A grid electrode 7 and two other buried layer electrodes 9 are arranged in the groove 8, the two buried layer electrodes 9 are separated by a first dielectric region 14, and a second dielectric region 12 is arranged between the electrode 9 and the groove 8; the gate 7 is located above the electrode 9 and is separated by a third dielectric region 13; a gate dielectric region 11 is arranged between the gate 7 and the trench 8; the gate electrode 7 is separated from the source electrode 5 by a fourth dielectric region 6.

A second conductivity type withstand voltage region 3 is provided below the hetero material region 4, the withstand voltage region 3 being separated from the trench 8 by a first conductivity type drift region 2.
Example 2
In another power device with low tunneling leakage current, as shown in fig. 3, the shape of the buried layer electrode 9 below the gate electrode 7 in the trench 8 may be selected to be square or circular, unlike embodiment 1, the buried layer electrode may be prepared by a simpler process, and the device performance uniformity is good and the process requirements are simpler.
Example 3
In another power device with low tunneling leakage current, as shown in fig. 4, the top trench 8 of the drift region 2 is in a circular arc shape, and correspondingly, the bottom buried electrode 9 of the trench is also in a semicircular arc shape. Further alternatively, the buried trench electrode may be a single structure filling the bottom of the trench or a split structure as in embodiment 1.
