A packaged unidirectional power transistor comprises a package with a number of pins which provide a voltage and/or current connection between the outside and the inside. Inside the package, a bidirectional vertical power transistor is present with a controllable bidirectional current path, through a body of the bidirectional vertical power transistor, between a first current terminal of the bidirectional vertical power transistor connected to the first current pin and a second current terminal of the bidirectional vertical power transistor connected to the second current pin. A control circuit connects the control pin to the body terminal and the control terminal to drive the body and the control terminal, which allows current through the body in a forward direction, from the first current terminal to the second terminal, as a function of the control voltage, and to block current in a reverse direction regardless of the voltage.

The semiconductor device is structured such that the drain plug is linearly disposed to extend in a direction Y, and the source plug includes a plurality of separated source plugs arranged at predetermined intervals in the direction Y. In this way, the separation of the source plug decreases an opposed area between the source plug and the drain plug, and can thus decrease the parasitic capacitance therebetween.
