Abstract
A semiconductor device is proposed. A trench gate structure extends from a first surface into a silicon carbide semiconductor body along a vertical direction. A trench contact structure extends from the first surface into the silicon carbide semiconductor body along the vertical direction. A source region of a first conductivity type and a body region of a second conductivity type adjoin a first sidewall of the trench gate structure. A diode region of the second conductivity type adjoins a second sidewall of the trench gate structure opposite to the first sidewall. A shielding region of the second conductivity type adjoins a bottom of the trench contact structure, the shielding region being arranged at a lateral distance to the trench gate structure.
