A semiconductor device comprising a power transistor in a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate comprising a first semiconductor substrate portion of a first conductivity type at a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate and a second substrate portion of a second conductivity type at the first main surface,
- the power transistor comprising:
- a drift zone in the first semiconductor substrate portion,
- a plurality of first field plates in the drift zone, longitudinal axes of the first field plates extending in a first horizontal direction;
- and
- a second field plate, the longitudinal axis of the second field plate extending in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction.
