VERTICAL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH IMPROVED RUGGEDNESS

Abstract:

A vertical semiconductor device includes a substrate, a buffer layer over the substrate, and a drift layer over the buffer layer. The substrate has a first doping type and a first doping concentration. The buffer layer has the first doping type and a second doping concentration that is less than the first doping concentration. The drift layer has the first doping type and a third doping concentration that is less than the second doping concentration.
