Abstract
According to an embodiment of a semiconductor device, the device includes: a transistor or diode device formed in a semiconductor substrate; an insulating material at least partially covering a lateral drift zone of the transistor or diode device or a termination region; and a fill pattern disposed over the lateral drift zone or termination region, the fill pattern having a variable density that follows equipotential lines of an electric field distribution expected between the fill pattern at a surface of the lateral drift zone or termination region during operation of the semiconductor device. Corresponding methods of producing the semiconductor device are also described.
