ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for fabricating semiconductor devices comprises forming an active region about a front-side of a substrate. A plurality of trenches are then formed about a back-side of the substrate. A grid of banks separates the trenches. A conductive material is then applied to the back-side of the substrate. The trenches and the conductive material act to reduce the on-state resistance of the substrate and enhance thermal conductivity, while the grid of banks maintains the structural strength of the wafer.
