A power semiconductor device is disclosed. In one example, the device comprises a semiconductor body coupled to a first load terminal and a second load terminal and comprising a drift region configured to conduct a load current between said terminals. The drift region comprises dopants of a first conductivity type. A source region is arranged in electrical contact with the first load terminal and comprises dopants of the first conductivity type. A channel region comprises dopants of a second conductivity. At least one power unit cell that includes at least one first type trench. The at least one power unit cell further includes a first mesa zone and a second mesa zone of the semiconductor body.

A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body having a front side coupled to a first load terminal structure and a backside coupled to a second load terminal structure. A front side structure arranged at the front side is at least partially included in the semiconductor body and defines a front side active region configured to conduct a load current between the load terminal structures. The front side structure includes first and second lateral edge portions and a first corner portion that forms a transition between the lateral edge portions. A drift region included in the semiconductor body is configured to carry the load current. A backside emitter region arranged in the semiconductor body in contact with the second load terminal has a net dopant concentration higher than a net dopant concentration of the drift region.
