UNIVERSAL SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER FOR HIGH-VOLTAGE SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS

摘要

A universal semiconductor wafer for high-voltage semiconductor components includes at least one layer of a first conductivity type which is provided on a semiconductor substrate of the first conductivity type. A plurality of floating semiconductor zones of a second, opposite conductivity type are embedded in the interface region between the semiconductor substrate and the at least one layer. The floating semiconductor zones are dimensioned such that the dimension of a semiconductor zone is do small compared to the layer thickness of the at least one semiconductor layer and is essentially equal to or less than a distance between the floating semiconductor zones in the interface region.
