1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a top side having a central region and a peripheral edge region surrounding the central region;
an active area in the central region comprising a source and a gate and a cell field;
a gate metal contact arranged in the peripheral edge region deposited above and forming an electrical contact with the gate; and
a source metal contact covering the active area such that the peripheral edge region is outside the source metal contact, the source metal contact being deposited above and forming an electrical contact with the source and comprising a plurality of metal through contacts positioned adjacent a side of the active area,wherein the source metal contact is bordered by two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides, wherein on each of the two short sides a single through contact is provided, and wherein on each of the two long sides a plurality of metal through contacts are arranged at intervals spaced from another.
