Abstract

The application relates to a semiconductor transistor device, having a source region, a body region including a channel region extending in a vertical direction, a drain region, a gate region arranged aside the channel region in a lateral direction, and a body contact region made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the body contact region forms a body contact area, the body contact region being in an electrical contact with the body region via the body contact area, and wherein the body contact area is tilted with respect to the vertical direction and the lateral direction.
