Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; an epitaxial layer or layer stack on the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of transistor cells of a first type formed in a first region of the epitaxial layer or layer stack and electrically coupled in parallel to form a vertical power transistor; a plurality of transistor cells of a second type different than the first type and formed in a second region of the epitaxial layer or layer stack; and an isolation structure that laterally and vertically delimits the second region of the epitaxial layer or layer stack. Sidewalls and a bottom of the isolation structure include a dielectric material that electrically isolates the plurality of transistor cells of the second type from the plurality of transistor cells of the first type in the epitaxial layer or layer stack. Methods of producing the semiconductor device are also described.
