Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a transistor in a semiconductor substrate having a first main surface. The transistor includes a source region, a drain region, a channel region, a drift zone, and a gate electrode adjacent to at least two sides of the channel region. The gate electrode is disposed in trenches extending in a first direction parallel to the first main surface. The gate electrode is electrically coupled to a gate terminal. The channel region and the drift zone are disposed along the first direction between the source region and the drain region. The semiconductor device further includes a conductive layer beneath the gate electrode and insulated from the gate electrode. The conductive layer is electrically connected to the gate terminal.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a transistor device. The transistor device includes a plurality of device cells each having an active device region integrated in a semiconductor body and electrically connected to a contact layer. The contact layer includes a plurality of layer sections separated from each other by a separation layer. A resistivity of the separation layer is at least 100 times the resistivity of the layer sections.
