The steps for producing the semiconductor device are performed in the following order: - on a wafer of a first conductivity type steps for producing layers on the emitter side (31) are performed, - then the wafer is thinned on its second side, - then particles of the first conductivity type are applied to the wafer on the collector side (21) by implantation or deposition of the particles of the first conductivity type for forming a first buffer layer (5), the first buffer layer (5) having a first peak doping concentration (52) in a first depth (51), which is higher than the doping of the wafer, - then particles of a second conductivity type are applied to the wafer on its second side by implantation or deposition for forming a collector layer (6), and - then a collector metallization (7) is formed on the second side. At any stage particles of the first conductivity type are applied to the wafer on its second side by implantation of the particles for forming a second buffer layer (8). The second buffer layer (8) has in a second depth (81) a second peak doping concentration (82), which is lower than the first peak doping concentration (52) of the first buffer layer (5), but higher than the doping of the wafer.
