Abstract
A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes an electric field (E-field) suppression layer formed over a termination region. The E-field suppression layer is patterned with openings over metal contact areas. The E-field suppression layer has a thickness such that an electric field strength above the E-field suppression layer is below a dielectric strength of an adjacent material when the semiconductor device is operating at or below a maximum voltage.
