Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor die includes forming a semiconductor body on a substrate. The semiconductor body has a periphery which is devoid of active devices and terminates at an edge face of the semiconductor die. The semiconductor body includes a first III-nitride semiconductor layer and a plurality of second III-nitride semiconductor layers below the first III-nitride semiconductor layer. The method further includes forming an uninsulated connection structure which extends vertically in the periphery of the semiconductor body and provides a vertical leakage path for at least some of the second III-nitride semiconductor layers either to the substrate or to a metallization layer disposed above the semiconductor body, but not to both. Additional semiconductor die manufacturing methods are provided.
