Abstract

A semiconductor structure has a substrate with a first main surface and a second main surface, the substrate comprising a gate electrode region, a channel region, wherein a conductive channel can be generated, and a gate electrode insulation between the gate electrode region and the channel region.Further, a field electrode region with a curved external surface is provided for increasing a breakdown voltage of the semiconductor structure, wherein the field electrode region has an extension in every direction in parallel to the first main surface, which is lower than a maximum extension in the one direction perpendicular to the second main surface.
