Assignee: NEXPERIA B.V.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. The semiconductor device according to claim 2, wherein the active area comprises a first region of the first charge type attached to or electrically connected to the frontside metal layer, and a second region of the second charge type adjacent in the first direction to the first region and attached to or electrically connected to the backside metal layer;
wherein the JTE region surrounds the first region of the active area; wherein the
frontside metal layer provides an Ohmic contact to the first region and the backside metal layer provides an Ohmic contact to the second region;
wherein the semiconductor device further comprises an intrinsically doped region in between the first region and the second region; and
wherein the first region comprises a highly doped sub-region of the first charge type having a higher dopant concentration than a remainder of the first region.
