Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor component is provided with a semiconductor substrate, in the upper face of which an active region made of a material of a first conductivity type is introduced by ion implantation. A semiconducting channel region having a defined length and width is designed within the active region. Each of the ends of the channel region located in the longitudinal extension is followed by a contacting region made of a semiconductor material of a second conductivity type. The channel region is covered by an ion implantation masking material, which comprises transverse edges defining the length of the channel region and longitudinal edges defining the width of the channel region and which comprises an edge recess at each of the opposing transverse edges aligned with the longitudinal extension ends of the channel region, the contacting regions that adjoin the channel region extending all the way into said edge recess.
