Semiconductor device and a method for forming a semiconductor device
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises at least one strip-shaped cell compensation region of a vertical electrical element arrangement, at least one strip-shaped edge compensation region and a bridge structure. The at least one strip-shaped cell compensation regions extends into a semiconductor substrate and comprises a first conductivity type. Further, the at least one strip-shaped cell compensation region is connected to a first electrode structure of the vertical electrical element arrangement. The at least one strip-shaped edge compensation region extends into the semiconductor substrate within an edge termination region of the semiconductor device and outside the cell region. Further, the at least one strip-shaped edge compensation region comprises the first conductivity type. The bridge structure electrically connects the at least one strip-shaped edge compensation region with the at least one strip-shaped cell compensation region within the edge termination region.
