A semiconductor device includes a vertical MOS transistor with a plurality of parallel RESURF drain trenches separated by a constant spacing in a vertical drain drift region. The vertical MOS transistor has chamfered corners; each chamfered corner extends across at least five of the drain trenches. A RESURF termination trench surrounds the drain trenches, separated from sides and ends of the drain trenches by distances which are functions of the drain trench spacing. At the chamfered corners, the termination trench includes external corners which extend around an end of a drain trench which extends past an adjacent drain trench, and includes internal corners which extend past an end of a drain trench which is recessed from an adjacent drain trench. The termination trench is separated from the drain trenches at the chamfered corners by distances which are also functions of the drain trench spacing.
