Abstract

This disclosure relates to a semiconductor device structure and method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device structure comprises a semiconductor substrate having an edge region laterally separated from a device region; an edge termination structure arranged on the semiconductor substrate; wherein the edge termination structure comprises: a first oxide layer arranged on the substrate to extend from the active region to the edge region; an isolation layer arranged on top of the first oxide layer; and a metal layer arranged to at least partially cover the isolation layer and wherein the metal layer is further arranged to extend from the isolation layer to contact the edge region.
