Patent ID: 6998678

Claim:
A semiconductor configuration, comprising: a semiconductor body including a first terminal zone of a first conductivity type, a second terminal zone of said first conductivity type, and a body zone of a second conductivity type formed between said first terminal zone and said second terminal zone, said semiconductor body defining a vertical direction, said first terminal zone, said body zone, and said second terminal zone configured one above another at least in sections in said vertical direction of said semiconductor body, said semiconductor body formed with a first trench extending in said vertical direction of said semiconductor body from said second terminal zone through said body zone right into said first terminal zone, said semiconductor body formed with a second trench extending in said vertical direction of said semiconductor body and said second trench defining sidewalls; a control electrode formed in said first trench and insulated from said semiconductor body; a terminal electrode insulated from said control electrode and contact-connecting said second terminal zone and said body zone, said terminal electrode disposed in sections in said second trench; and a Schottky contact formed between said terminal electrode and said first terminal zone; said Schottky contact directly contacting said body zone and formed in said second trench; said body zone and said second terminal zone being uncovered at said sidewalls of said second trench and being contact-connected by said terminal electrode.
