Patent ID: 10998399

Abstract:
A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate with an edge termination region between an active region and a lateral rim. Non-metallic electrodes extend in the edge termination region on a front side of the substrate, and include at least three spaced apart non-metallic electrodes. One non-metallic electrode is an inner non-metallic electrode having an inner edge. Another non-metallic electrode is an outer non-metallic electrode having an outer edge. The shortest distance between the inner edge of the inner non-metallic electrode and the outer edge of the most non-metallic electrode is defined as distance p. Each non-metallic electrode is electrically connected to a respective doping region of the substrate by at least two respective metallic plugs each extending through a respective first opening formed in an electrically insulating bottom layer. The shortest distance d between any two metallic plugs of different non-metallic electrodes is larger than the distance p.
