Field-effect-controllable semiconductor configuration with a laterally extending channel zone
First Claim
1. A semiconductor configuration, comprising:
- a semiconductor body including a first connection zone of a first conductivity type, a second connection zone of the first conductivity type, a channel zone of the first conductivity type, at least one control electrode, and an insulation layer;
said channel zone of the first conductivity type being formed between said first connection zone and said second connection zone;
said insulation layer surrounding said at least one control electrode;
said at least one control electrode extending, adjacent to said channel zone, from said first connection zone to said second connection zone;
said semiconductor body defining a vertical direction and a lateral direction; and
said first connection zone, said second connection zone and said at least one control electrode extending in the vertical direction such that, when a voltage is applied between said first and second connection zones, a current path along the lateral direction is formed in the channel zone.

Abstract
A semiconductor configuration includes a semiconductor body with a first connection zone of a first conductivity type, a second connection zone of the first conductivity type, a channel zone of the first conductivity type, and at least one control electrode surrounded by an insulation layer. The channel zone is formed between the first connection zone and the second connection zone. The at least one control electrode extends, adjacent to the channel zone, from the first connection zone to the second connection zone. The first connection zone, the second connection zone and the at least one control electrode extend in the vertical direction such that, when a voltage is applied between the first and second connection zones, a current path along the lateral direction is formed in the channel zone.
