Abstract:
A method of processing a semiconductor device, comprising: providing a semiconductor body having dopants of a first conductivity type; forming at least one trench that extends into the semiconductor body along a vertical direction, the trench being laterally confined by two trench sidewalls and vertically confined by a trench bottom; applying a substance onto at least a section of a trench surface formed by one of the trench sidewalls and/or the trench bottom of the at least one trench, such that applying the substance includes preventing that the substance is applied to the other of the trench sidewalls; and diffusing of the applied substance from the section into the semiconductor body, thereby creating, in the semiconductor body, a semiconductor region having dopants of a second conductivity type and being arranged adjacent to the section.

Claim (Index 5):
The transistor of  claim 2 , wherein the portion of the total extension is divided into a first part and a second part,\n wherein, in the first part, the dopant concentration decreases along the vertical direction, and, in the second part, the dopant concentration increases along the vertical direction.
