Abstract:
A method and a semiconductor device are disclosed. The method includes forming an etch mask on top of a surface of an edge region of a semiconductor body, the edge region surrounding an inner region of the semiconductor body, the etch mask having a plurality of openings and at least one bridge between the openings. The method further includes etching the semiconductor body at least in regions uncovered by the plurality of openings to form at least one cavity in the semiconductor body, closing the plurality of openings such that the at least one cavity remains in the semiconductor body, and forming active device regions of a semiconductor device in the inner region.

Claim (Index 34):
The method of one of  claim 30 , further comprising:\n irradiating the surface of the first implantation mask and the surface of the second implantation mask with dopant atoms in a second irradiation process using a second implantation vector, wherein the plurality of openings in the second implantation mask are oriented relative to the second implantation angle such that the dopant atoms pass the second implantation mask and are implanted into a first sidewall of the second cavity, wherein the first implantation mask comprises a plurality of bridges separating the plurality of openings, and wherein the openings and bridges in the first implantation mask are oriented such that the dopant atoms do not pass the first implantation mask.
