  • Patent number: 11038028
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having opposing first and second main surfaces and first and second dopants. A covalent atomic radius of a material of the substrate is i) larger than a covalent atomic radius of the first dopant and smaller than that of the second dopant, or ii) smaller than the covalent atomic radius of the first dopant and larger than that of the second dopant. A vertical extension of the first dopant into the substrate from the first main surface ends at a bottom of a substrate portion at a first vertical distance to the first main surface.
