Abstract

Disclosed is a transistor device which includes a semiconductor body having a first surface, a source region, a drift region, a body region being arranged between the source region and the drift region, a gate electrode adjacent the body region and dielectrically insulated from the body region by a gate dielectric, and a field electrode adjacent the drift region and dielectrically insulated from the drift region by a field electrode dielectric, wherein the field electrode comprises a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer has a lower electrical resistance than the second layer, wherein a portion of the second layer is disposed above and directly contacts a portion of the first layer.
