Abstract: A power semiconductor device and a method of producing a power semiconductor device are presented. The power semiconductor device is, for example, embodied as an IGBT and includes a deep cross trench which extends below trenches that include, e.g., control and source trench electrodes.

Abstract: A power semiconductor device first trench structures extending from a first main surface into a semiconductor body up to a first depth. The first trench structures extend in parallel along a first lateral direction. Each first trench structure includes a first dielectric and a first electrode. The power semiconductor device further includes second trench structures extending from the first main surface into the semiconductor body up to a second depth that is smaller than the first depth. The second trench structures extend in parallel along a second lateral direction and intersect the first trenches at intersection positions. Each second trench structure includes a second dielectric and a second electrode. The second dielectric is arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode at the intersection positions.

Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes an active region with power cells, each configured to conduct a load current portion between first and second load terminals. Each power cell includes: trenches and mesas laterally confined by the trenches and in a vertical direction adjoining a drift region. The mesas include an active mesa having a source region of a first conductivity type and a body region of a second conductivity type separating the source region from the drift region. Both the source and body region are electrically connected to the first load terminal. At least one trench adjacent to the active mesa is configured to induce a conductive channel in the active mesa. A punch through structure s electrically separated from the active mesa by at least one separation stack.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slicing apparatus for slicing food products, in particular to a high-performance slicer, comprising a product feed that feeds products to be sliced on one or more tracks in a feed direction to a cutting region in which the products are cut into slices during a cutting operation of the slicing apparatus by means of a cutting blade, in particular a revolving and/or rotating cutting blade, that performs cutting movements; a portioning region in which portions are formed from the slices and each comprise one slice or a plurality of slices disposed at least partly above one another; and a control device that controls the cutting operation and that has operating information that relates to the cutting operation, wherein a treatment agent device for providing a liquid treatment agent is integrated into the slicing apparatus and is configured to provide the treatment agent during the cutting operation such that the treatment agent is applied to a respective cut surface of a product and/or t
