Method of manufacturing an integrated circuit substrate

A semiconductor component is produced by forming a trench in a semiconductor region. The trench has an upper trench region and a lower trench region. The upper trench region is wider than the lower trench region such that a step is formed in the semiconductor region. A dopant is introduced into the step to form a locally delimited dopant region in the semiconductor region.

Semiconductor component and method for producing a semiconductor component

A semiconductor device includes an epitaxial layer of semiconductor material of a first conductivity type, a body region of a second (opposite) conductivity type extending into the epitaxial layer from a main surface of the epitaxial layer, a source region of the first conductivity type disposed in the body region, and a channel region extending laterally in the body region from the source region along the main surface. A charge compensation region of the second conductivity type can be provided under the body region which extends in a direction parallel to the main surface and terminates prior to a pn-junction between the source and body regions at the main surface, and/or an additional region of the first conductivity type which has at least one peak doping concentration each of which occurs deeper in the epitaxial layer from the main surface than a peak doping concentration of the device channel region.
