Method for producing a buried semiconductor layer

摘要

A method for producing a region of increased doping in an n-doped semiconductor layer which is buried in a semiconductor body of a vertical power transistor and which is arranged between a p-doped body region facing the front side contact of the power transistor and an n-doped substrate facing the rear side contact of the power transistor has the following steps: a) irradiation of at least one part of the surface of the semiconductor body with protons, and b) heat treatment of the semiconductor body.
