Abstract:
1. A field-effect-controllable compensation semiconductor component, comprising: a semiconductor body having a front side, a rear side, and an edge region; a drift zone disposed in said semiconductor body; a first terminal zone of a first conductivity type disposed in a region of said front side; a channel zone of a second conductivity type formed between said first terminal zone and said drift zone; a control electrode disposed insulated from said semiconductor body and adjacent to said channel zone; at least one first compensation zone of said second conductivity type, said first compensation zone formed in said drift zone below said channel zone and adjoining said channel zone; at least one second compensation zone of said second conductivity type, said second compensation zone formed in said edge region of said semiconductor body in said drift zone; and at least one connecting zone of said second conductivity type, said connecting zone connecting said second compensation zone to said channel zone.
