ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a semiconductor device having an active area and a termination area surrounding the active area comprises providing a semiconductor substrate, providing a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type over the semiconductor substrate and forming a mask layer over the semiconductor layer. The mask layer outlines at least two portions of a surface of the semiconductor layer: a first outlined portion outlining a floating region in the active area and a second outlined portion outlining a termination region in the termination area. Semiconductor material of a second conductivity type is provided to the first and second outlined portions so as to provide a floating region of the second conductivity type buried in the semiconductor layer in the active area and a first termination region of the second conductivity type buried in the semiconductor layer in the termination area of the semiconductor device.
