Abstract

A semiconductor device has a drift region having an upper surface and a lower surface. A first contact is on the upper surface of the drift region and a second contact is on the lower surface of the drift region. The drift region includes a first semiconductor pillar that has a tapered sidewall and that is doped with first conductivity type impurities and a second semiconductor pillar on the tapered sidewall of the first semiconductor pillar, the second semiconductor pillar doped with second conductivity type impurities that have an opposite conductivity from the first conductivity type impurities.
