Claim:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first load terminal contact area at a first side of a semiconductor body; a second load terminal contact area at a second side of the semiconductor body opposite to the first side; a control terminal contact area at the second side of the semiconductor body; an isolation structure extending through the semiconductor body between the first and second sides, the isolation structure electrically isolating a first part of the semiconductor body from a second part of the semiconductor body, and wherein a first thickness of the first part of the semiconductor body is smaller than a second thickness of the second part of the semiconductor body, wherein the first side of the semiconductor body and the second side of the semiconductor body each extend along a sing plane, wherein the first thickness of the first part of the semiconductor body is measured between the first side of the semiconductor body and the second side of the semiconductor body, and wherein the second thickness of the second part of the semiconductor body is measured between the first side of the semiconductor body and a third side of the semiconductor body that is vertically offset from the second side of the semiconductor body.
