Assignee: INFINEON TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRIA AG
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A diode, comprising:
a semiconductor body having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface;
an anode region and a cathode region, wherein the anode region is arranged between the first main surface and the cathode region;
an anode pad area electrically connected to the anode region; and
a plurality of trenches extending into the semiconductor body from the first main surface,
wherein a first group of the plurality of trenches includes a first trench electrode and a second group of the plurality of trenches includes a second trench electrode,
wherein the first trench electrode is electrically coupled to the anode pad area via an anode wiring line and the second trench electrode so as to form an electrical current path between the first trench electrode and the anode pad area that must pass through the second trench electrode.
