A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming grooves in a front side surface of a wafer; filling the grooves with a first side face protection material; thinning the wafer at a backside surface of the wafer opposite the front side surface; depositing a backside metallization layer over the backside surface of the thinned wafer; and laser cutting along the grooves through the side face protection material and through the backside metallization layer to separate the wafer into multiple semiconductor devices.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor devices by filling grooves formed in a front side surface of a wafer with a side face protection material

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor die having a front side surface, a backside surface opposite the front side surface and side faces. A backside metallization layer is deposited over the backside surface and projects laterally outwards beyond the side faces. A side face protection layer covers the side faces.

Semiconductor device having a thin semiconductor die

The application relates to a semiconductor switch element, including: a first vertical transistor device formed in a substrate and having a source region formed on a first side of the substrate and a drain region formed on a second side of the substrate vertically opposite to the first side; a second vertical transistor device formed laterally aside the first vertical transistor device in the same substrate and having a source region formed on the first side of the substrate and a drain region formed on the second side of the substrate; a conductive element arranged on the second side of the substrate and electrically connecting the drain regions of the vertical transistor devices; and a trench extending vertically into the substrate at the second side of the substrate, wherein at least a part of the conductive element is arranged in the trench.
