Abstract
A method of forming a laterally varying dopant concentration profile of an electrically activated dopant in a power semiconductor device includes: providing a semiconductor body; implanting a dopant to form a doped region in the semiconductor body; providing, above the doped region, a mask layer having a first section and a second section, the first section having has a first thickness along a vertical direction and the second section having a second thickness along the vertical direction, the second thickness being different from the first thickness; and subjecting the doped region and both mask sections to a laser thermal annealing, LTA, processing step.
