    Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor body with a vertically protruding fin configured to conduct a portion of a nominal load current of the device; and a first load terminal in contact with an upper portion of the fin. An electrode material is arranged adjacent to the fin and electrically insulated from the fin by insulation material. The electrode material is electrically insulated from the first load terminal by an insulating material. The power semiconductor device further includes, on top of the electrode material, insulating sidewall spacers adjacent to the insulating material and the insulation material. The sidewall spacers terminate at a pull-back distance below the top of the fin. The pull-back distance amounts to at least 90% of a width of the fin at the top of the fin.
