Abstract

A semiconductor device includes compensation structures that extend from a first surface into a semiconductor portion. Sections of the semiconductor portion between neighboring ones of the compensation structures form semiconductor mesas. A field dielectric separating a field electrode in the compensation structures from the semiconductor portion includes a thermally grown portion, which directly adjoins the semiconductor portion. A not fully densified deposited portion of the field dielectric has a lower density than the thermally grown portion.
