Abstract
A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body coupled to first and second load terminal structures, an active cell field in the body, and a plurality of first and second cells in the active cell field. Each cell is electrically connected to the first load terminal structure and to a drift region. Each first cell includes a mesa having a port region electrically connected to the first load terminal structure, and a channel region coupled to the drift region. Each second cell includes a mesa having a port region of the opposite conductivity type electrically connected to the first load terminal structure, and a channel region coupled to the drift region. Each mesa is spatially confined in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the load current within the respective mesa, by an insulation structure and has a total extension of less than 100 nm in the direction.
