Abstract
According to an embodiment, a method of forming a power semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate and forming an epitaxial layer on the semiconductor substrate. The epitaxial layer includes a body region, a source region, and a drift region. The method further includes forming a dielectric layer on the epitaxial layer. The dielectric layer is formed thicker above a drift region of the epitaxial layer than above at least part of the body region and the dielectric layer is formed at a temperature less than 950° C.
