Abstract

A semiconductor arrangement and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor arrangement are provided, which arrangement and method allow an improvement in the current-carrying capacity for given chip dimensions. The semiconductor arrangement includes trenches introduced in the interior of the chip, which trenches reduce power loss and improve the heat dissipation of the chip, as well as reduce the forward voltage of diode.
