Abstract
A semiconductor diode includes a semiconductor body having opposite first and second sides. A first and a second semiconductor region are consecutively arranged along a lateral direction at the second side. The first and second semiconductor regions are of opposite first and second conductivity types and are electrically coupled to an electrode at the second side. The semiconductor diode further includes a third semiconductor region of the second conductivity type buried in the semiconductor body at a distance from the second side. The second and third semiconductor regions are separated from each other.
