Abstract: A semiconductor component includes a field-effect transistor arrangement having a drift zone and body region between the drift zone and a first surface of a semiconductor body. Trench structures of a first type extend from the first surface into the semiconductor body and have a maximum lateral dimension at the first surface which is less than a depth of first and second ones of the trench structures. A net doping concentration at a reference depth at a first location in the drift zone is at least 10% greater than at a second location in the drift zone at the reference depth, which is located between the body region and a bottom of the first trench structure. The first location is at the same first lateral distance from the first and second trench structures. The second location is at the same second lateral distance from the first and second trench structures.

Abstract: A transistor component includes at least one transistor cell having: a drift region, a source region, a body region and a drain region in a semiconductor body, the body region being arranged between the source and drift regions, and the drift region being arranged between the body and drain regions; a gate electrode arranged adjacent to the body region and dielectrically isolated from the body region by a gate dielectric; and a field electrode arranged adjacent to the drift region and dielectrically isolated from the drift region by a field electrode dielectric. The field electrode dielectric has a thickness that increases in a direction toward the drain region. The drift region has, in a mesa region adjacent to the field electrode, a doping concentration that increases in the direction toward the drain region.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body having a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type and a semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type on the substrate. A trench structure extends into the semiconductor body from a first surface and includes a gate electrode and at least one field electrode arranged between the gate electrode and a bottom side of the trench structure. A body region adjoins the trench structure and laterally extends from a transistor cell area into an edge termination area. A pn junction is between the body region and semiconductor layer. A doping concentration of at least one of the body region and semiconductor layer is lowered at a lateral end of the pn junction in the edge termination area compared to a doping concentration of the at least one of the body region and semiconductor layer at the pn junction in the transistor cell area.

Abstract: A transistor cell includes, in a semiconductor body, a drift region of a first doping type, a source region of the first doping type, a body region of a second doping type, and a drain region of the first doping type. The body region is arranged between the source and drift regions. The drift region is arranged between the body and drain regions. A gate electrode is adjacent the body region and dielectrically insulated from the body region by a gate dielectric, and a field electrode is dielectrically insulated from the drift region by a field electrode dielectric. The drift region includes an avalanche region having a higher doping concentration than sections of the drift region adjacent the avalanche region and which is spaced apart from the field electrode dielectric in a direction perpendicular to the current flow direction. The field electrode is arranged in a needle-shaped trench.
