Abstract:
A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body and a first terminal at the semiconductor body. The first terminal has a first side for adjoining an encapsulation and a second side for adjoining the semiconductor body. The first terminal includes, at the first side, a top layer; and, at the second side, a base layer coupled with the top layer, wherein a sidewall of the top layer and/or a sidewall of the base layer is arranged in an angle smaller than 85° with respect to a plane.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device is proposed. The semiconductor device includes a contact pad structure over a first surface of a semiconductor body. The semiconductor device further includes a dielectric structure lining a sidewall and a boundary area on a top surface of the contact pad structure, wherein the dielectric structure includes a dielectric spacer at the sidewall of the contact pad structure.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments, a semiconductor device may include: a layer stack formed at a surface of the semiconductor device, the layer stack including: a metallization layer including a first metal or metal alloy; a protection layer covering the metallization layer, the protection layer including a second metal or metal alloy, wherein the second metal or metal alloy is less noble than the first metal or metal alloy.
