Abstract
A power semiconductor device includes an active region with power cells, each configured to conduct a load current portion between first and second load terminals. Each power cell includes: trenches and mesas laterally confined by the trenches and in a vertical direction adjoining a drift region. The mesas include an active mesa having a source region of a first conductivity type and a body region of a second conductivity type separating the source region from the drift region. Both the source and body region are electrically connected to the first load terminal. At least one trench adjacent to the active mesa is configured to induce a conductive channel in the active mesa. A punch through structure s electrically separated from the active mesa by at least one separation stack.
