摘要:
A semiconductor component includes first and second connection zones formed in a semiconductor body, a channel zone surrounding the second connection zone in the semiconductor body, and a drift path that is formed between the channel zone and the first connection zone and contains a compensation zone. The compensation zone has a complementary conduction type with respect to the drift zone and includes at least two segments. A distance between the two adjacent segments is chosen such that the punch-through voltage between these segments lies in a voltage range that corresponds to the voltage range assumed by the voltage drop across the drift path at currents situated between the rated current and twice the rated current.

A semiconductor component includes a charge compensation structure wherein locations with a maximum local field strength are positioned in a compensation edge region of the charge compensation structure. Thus, an electrical parameter such as the on resistance of the semiconductor component can be substantially improved without influencing or impairing further parameters such as the breakdown voltage and the robustness with respect to TRAPATT oscillations. Methods of fabricating a semiconductor component with a charge compensation structure are also provided.

A semiconductor component has at least one first terminal zone of a first conductivity type in a semiconductor body. The first terminal zone is contact-connected by a first terminal electrode. A drift zone of the first conductivity type is adjoined by a second terminal zone of the second conductivity type. A channel zone of a second conductivity type is formed between the at least one first terminal zone and the drift zone. A control electrode is insulated from the semiconductor body and adjacent to the channel zone. A first channel is formed by the channel zone in a region adjacent to the control electrode, the first channel conducts only upon application of a control voltage that is not equal to zero between the control electrode and the first terminal zone. The first terminal electrode is connected to the drift zone via at least one second channel of the first conductivity type, which already conducts in the event of a control voltage equal to zero.
