A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in a semiconductor body having a first surface and a second surface is proposed. Semiconductor device elements are formed in the semiconductor body by processing the semiconductor body at the first surface. A wiring area is formed over the first surface of the semiconductor body. The semiconductor body is attached to a carrier via the wiring area. Thereafter, ions are implanted through the second surface into the semiconductor body. The ions are ions of a doping element, or ions, which induce doping by complex formation, or ions of a heavy metal. A surface region of the semiconductor body at the second surface is irradiated with a plurality of laser pulses. Thereafter, the carrier is removed from the semiconductor body.

Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device

A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body, having an active zone and a high voltage peripheral zone laterally adjacent to each other, the high voltage peripheral zone laterally surrounding the active zone. The device further includes a metallization layer on a front surface of the semiconductor body and connected to the active zone, a first barrier layer, comprising a high-melting metal or a high-melting alloy, between the active zone and the metallization layer, and a second barrier layer covering at least a part of the peripheral zone, the second barrier layer comprising an amorphous semi-isolating material. The first barrier layer and the second barrier layer partially overlap and form an overlap zone. The overlap zone extends over an entire circumference of the active zone. A method for producing such a power semiconductor device is also provided.
