Abstract
An electronic device includes a semiconductor body of silicon carbide, and a body region at a first surface of the semiconductor body. A source region is disposed in the body region. A drain region is disposed at a second surface of the semiconductor body. A doped region extends seamlessly at the entire first surface of the semiconductor body and includes one or more first sub-regions having a first doping concentration and one or more second sub-regions having a second doping concentration lower than the first doping concentration. Thus, the device has zones alternated to each other having different conduction threshold voltage and different saturation current.
