Abstract

One embodiment of a semiconductor device includes a fin at a first side of a semiconductor body, a body region of a second conductivity type in at least a part of the fin, a drain extension region of a first conductivity type, a source region and a drain region of the first conductivity type, a source contact in contact with the source region, the source contact extending along a vertical direction along the source region, and a gate structure adjoining opposing walls of the fin. The body region and the drain extension region are arranged one after another between the source region and the drain region.
