Abstract:
1. A semiconductor component, wherein the semiconductor component is implemented as an MOS transistor, the semiconductor component comprising: a semiconductor body with a first surface and a second surface; a first contact electrode in a region of the first surface; a second contact electrode in a region of the second surface; a first insulation layer defining a via region in a horizontal direction of the semiconductor body; a monocrystalline semiconductor region arranged in the via region and extending between the first contact electrode and the second contact electrode; a gate electrode electrically connected to the first contact electrode in the region of the first surface; a source region arranged below the first surface; a source electrode electrically connected to the source region, electrically insulated from the gate electrode, and arranged at least partially above the first surface; and a drain electrode electrically insulated from the second contact electrode on the second surface, wherein the MOS transistor comprises a gate terminal formed by the second contact electrode arranged on the second surface, wherein the gate terminal is electrically connected to a gate-electrode of the MOS transistor through the via region, and wherein the gate-electrode is formed next to the first surface and disposed outside of the via region.
