Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
an active area extending in a first direction;
a junction termination extension (JTE) region of a first charge type surrounding the active area, wherein the JTE region comprises a plurality of field relief sub-regions that each surround the active area and that are mutually spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to a circumference of the active area;
wherein the plurality of field relief sub-regions comprise a first group of field relief sub-regions;
wherein for each field relief sub-region of the first group, a plurality of field relief elements of a second charge type is provided therein; and
wherein the plurality of field relief elements are mutually spaced apart in a circumferential direction with respect to the active area.
