Abstract

A wide bandgap semiconductor device is comprising an (n−) doped drift layer between a first main side and a second main side. On the first main side, n doped source regions are arranged which are laterally surrounded by p doped channel layers having a channel layer depth. P+ doped well layers having a well layer depth, which is at least as large as the channel layer depth is arranged at the bottom of the source regions. A p++ doped plug extends from a depth, which is at least as deep as the source layer depth and less deep than the well layer depth, to a plug depth, which is as least as deep as the well layer depth, and having a higher doping concentration than the well layers, is arranged between the source regions and well layers. On the first main side, an ohmic contact contacts as a first main electrode the source regions, the well layers and the plug.
