A lateral super junction JFET is formed from stacked alternating P type and N type semiconductor layers over a P-epi layer supported on an N+ substrate. An N+ drain column extends down through the super junction structure and the P-epi to connect to the N+ substrate to make the device a bottom drain device. N+ source column and P+ gate column extend through the super junction but stop at the P-epi layer. A gate-drain avalanche clamp diode is formed from the bottom the P+ gate column through the P-epi to the N+ drain substrate.
