Abstract
According to an embodiment of a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device includes: transistor cells formed along a first surface at a front side of a semiconductor portion; a drain structure between the transistor cells and a second surface of the semiconductor portion opposite to the first surface, the drain structure forming first pn junctions with body regions of the transistor cells and including an emitter layer directly adjoining the second surface; and a metal drain electrode directly adjoining the emitter layer. An integrated concentration of activated dopants along a shortest line between the metal drain electrode and a closest doped region of a charge type of the body regions is at most 1.5E13 cm. Further semiconductor device embodiments are described.
