Abstract

In one embodiment, a semiconductor device has a superjunction structure formed adjoining a low-doped n-type region. A low-doped p-type region is formed adjoining the superjunction structure above the low-doped n-type region and is configured to improve Eas characteristics. A body region is formed adjacent the low-doped p-type region and a control electrode structure is formed adjacent the body region for controlling a channel region within the body region.
