Abstract

A superjunction device and methods for layout design and fabrication of a superjunction device are disclosed. A layout of active cell column structures can be configured so that a charge due to first conductivity type dopants balances out charge due to second conductivity type dopants in a doped layer in an active cell region. A layout of end portions of the active cell column structures proximate termination column structures can be configured so that a charge due to the first conductivity type dopants in the end portions and a charge due to the first conductivity type dopants in the termination column structures balances out charge due to the second conductivity type dopants in a portion of the doped layer between the termination column structures and the end portions.
