Abstract
A lateral power semiconductor device is provided. Some semiconductor devices show signs of failure caused by a short between metal layers, which have showed cracks in the insulator layer between the two metals which causes the short-circuit. Removing the superimposition between the borders of the metal layers reduces the risk of cracks in the insulator layer and thereby increases the reliability of the device. The lateral power semiconductor device of the present disclosure has one of these metal layers configured so that the metal has been removed at the area where it superimposes the area of the other metal layer so that these are isolated from each other not only by the insulation layer in between these metal layers, but also by the fact that they are isolated by a lateral spacing so that they do not lie on top of each other.
