    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body having first and second opposite surfaces along a vertical direction, and an active diode area. The active diode area includes: a p-doped anode region adjoining the first surface; an n-doped drift region between the anode region and the second surface; an n-doped cathode contact region adjoining the second surface; a p-doped injection region adjoining the second surface and the cathode contact region; and a p-doped auxiliary region between the drift region and the cathode contact region. The auxiliary region includes first and second sub-regions. In a top view, the first sub-region covers at least part of the injection region and the second sub-region covers at least part of the cathode contact region. In the top view, the auxiliary region includes a plurality of openings covering from 0.1% to an 20% of a surface area of the active diode area at the second surface.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a drift region of a first conductivity type arranged between first and second surfaces of a semiconductor body; a first region of the first conductivity type at the second surface; a second region of a second conductivity type adjacent the first region at the second surface; a field stop region of the first conductivity type between the drift region and second surface; and a first electrode on the second surface directly adjacent to the first region in a first part of the second surface and to the second region in a second part of the second surface. The field stop region includes first and second sub-regions. Over a predominant portion of the first part of the second surface, the second sub-region directly adjoins the first region and includes dopants of the second conductivity type that partially compensate dopants of the first conductivity type.
