    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body comprising a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, an active region, and an edge region surrounding the active region in a horizontal plane. The semiconductor device further includes a plurality of transistor cells at least partly integrated in the active region. Each transistor cell includes a drift region separated from a source region by a body region, and a gate electrode dielectrically insulated from the body region. The semiconductor device also includes a sensor device having a first sensor region of a first doping type integrated in the edge region. The first sensor region is electrically coupled to a first contact pad and to a second contact pad. Each contact pad is arranged either on the first surface or on the second surface. The sensor device at least partially extends around the active region.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a semiconductor die includes a transistor device that has a cell field and an edge termination region, a source pad arranged on the cell field, a gate pad laterally arranged laterally adjacent the cell field and in the edge termination region, a shielding region laterally surrounding the cell field, the shielding region including a non-depletable doped. The polysilicon ESD protection diode is arranged laterally between the gate pad and the source pad and vertically above at least a portion of the shielding region, and includes at least two separate sections that are electrically coupled in parallel between the gate pad and the source pad. The sections are laterally spaced apart by a gap situated at a corner of the gate pad.
