Vertical power semiconductor device and manufacturing method

Abstract

A vertical power semiconductor device is proposed. The vertical power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body including a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor body has a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface along a vertical direction. The vertical power semiconductor device further includes a drift region in the semiconductor body. A first part of the drift region is arranged in the semiconductor substrate. A second part of the drift region is arranged in the semiconductor layer. The vertical power semiconductor device further includes a field stop region arranged in the semiconductor substrate, wherein a doping concentration of the field stop region averaged along the vertical direction is larger than a doping concentration of the drift region averaged along the vertical direction.
