Abstract

See full text

A superjunction semiconductor device is provided having at least one column of a first conductivity type and at least one column of a second conductivity type extending from a first main surface of a semiconductor substrate toward a second main surface of the semiconductor substrate opposed to the first main surface. The at least one column of the second conductivity type has a first sidewall surface proximate the at least one column of the first conductivity type and a second sidewall surface opposed to the first sidewall surface. A termination structure is proximate the second sidewall surface of the at least one column of the second conductivity type. The termination structure includes a layer of dielectric of an effective thickness and consumes about 0% of the surface area of the first main surface. Methods for manufacturing superjunction semiconductor devices and for preventing surface breakdown are also provided.
