Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer with an inner portion, an outer portion laterally surrounding the inner portion, and a transition portion laterally surrounding the inner portion and separating the inner portion and the outer portion. A first electric element includes a first doped region formed in the inner portion and a second doped region formed in the outer portion. The first electric element is configured to at least temporarily block a voltage applied between the first doped region and the second doped region. A trench isolation structure extends from a first surface into the semiconductor layer and segments at least one of the inner portion, the transition portion, and the outer portion.
