Abstract
A semiconductor device arrangement comprises a semiconductor device and an injector device. The semiconductor device comprises a first current electrode region of a first conductivity type, a second current electrode region of the first conductivity type, a drift region between the first and the second current electrode regions, and at least one floating region of a second conductivity type formed in the drift region. The injector device is arranged to receive an activation signal when the semiconductor device is turned on and to inject charge carriers of the second conductivity type into the drift region and the at least one floating region in response to receiving the activation signal.
