摘要:
An anchoring structure for a metal structure of a semiconductor device includes an anchoring recess structure having at least one overhanging side wall, the metal structure being at least partly arranged within the anchoring recess structure.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a substrate having a plurality of neighboring trenches, and a contact area, one mesa stripe each being formed between two neighboring trenches. The contact area contacts mesa stripes and surrounds an opening region in which the contact area is not formed and which is formed such that the contact area contacts the same mesa stripes at two positions between which the opening region is arranged, and the opening region having a region of elongate extension which intersects the mesa stripes in a skewed or perpendicular manner.

Wafers with chips thereon and corresponding chips are provided where test structures or parts thereof are provided in a peripheral chip area of the chip. Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a main body having a single crystalline semiconductor body. A layered structure directly adjoins a central portion of a main surface of the main body and includes a hard dielectric layer provided from a first dielectric material with Young's modulus greater than 10 GPa. A stress relief layer directly adjoins the layered structure opposite to the main body and extends beyond an outer edge of the layered structure. Providing the layered structure at a distance to the edge of the main body and covering the outer surface of the layered structures with the stress relief layer enhances device reliability.
摘要:
An integrated circuit including a semiconductor device is disclosed. One embodiment provides a load current component, having a multiplicity of trenches in a cell array. A sensor component is integrated into the cell array of the load current component and has a sensor cell array, the area of which is smaller than the area of the cell array of the load current component by a specific factor. The trenches forming the cell array of the sensor component correspond to the trenches of the cell array of the load current component, configured such that the trenches of the sensor component at the at least one side merge uniformly into the trenches of the cell array of the load current component without interruptions or disturbances of the trench geometry.
