Abstract

See full text

A transistor cell includes a drift region, a source region, and a body region arranged between the source region and the drift region in a semiconductor body. A drain region is below the drift region. An insulated gate trench extends into the drift region. A diode region extends deeper into the drift region than the insulated gate trench and partly under the insulated gate trench so as to form a pn junction with the drift region below a bottom of the insulated gate trench. The body region adjoins a first sidewall of the insulated gate trench and the diode region adjoins a second sidewall of the insulated gate trench opposite the first sidewall so that the body region of the transistor cell and a channel region including a region of the body region extending along the first sidewall are separated from the diode region by the insulated gate trench.
