A semiconductor device is proposed. The semiconductor device includes a source region of a field effect transistor having a first conductivity type, a body region of the field effect transistor having a second conductivity type, and a drain region of the field effect transistor having the first conductivity type. The source region, the drain region, and the body region are located in a semiconductor substrate of the semiconductor device and the body region is located between the source region and the drain region. The drain region extends from the body region through a buried portion of the drain region to a drain contact portion of the drain region located at a surface of the semiconductor substrate, the buried portion of the drain region is located beneath a spacer doping region, and the spacer doping region is located within the semiconductor substrate.

An apparatus for predicting a future state of an electronic component is provided. The apparatus includes a measuring unit configured to measure a waveform of a signal related to the electronic component. Further, the apparatus includes a processing unit configured to calculate a predicted value of a characteristic of the electronic component based on a reliability model of the electronic component using the waveform of the signal.
