1. A gate structure for a U-shape Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (UMOS) device, comprising:
a dielectric layer formed into a U-shape having side walls and a floor to form a trench surrounding a dielectric layer interior region;
a doped poly-silicon layer deposited adjacent to the dielectric layer within the dielectric layer interior region, the doped poly-silicon layer having side walls and a floor surrounding a doped poly-silicon layer interior region;
a first metal layer deposited adjacent to the doped poly-silicon layer and in the doped poly-silicon layer interior region on a side opposite from the dielectric layer, the first metal layer having side walls and a floor surrounding a first metal layer interior region; and
an undoped poly-silicon layer deposited to fill the first metal layer interior region, wherein:
the first metal layer is between the undoped poly-silicon layer and the doped poly-silicon layer; and
the undoped poly-silicon layer is interior to the doped poly-silicon layer.
