A tub of a semiconductor device includes a cool zone with a first projected operating temperature and a hot zone with a second projected operating temperature greater than the first projected operating temperature. A design parameter has a first value in the cool zone and a second value different from the first value in the hot zone. The difference configures the tub to dissipate less heat in the hot zone during operation of the semiconductor device than would be dissipated if the first and second values were equal. The design parameter may be, for example, a tub width, a source structure width, a JFET region width, a channel length, a channel width, a length of a gate, a displacement of a center of the gate relative to a center of a JFET region, a dopant concentration, or a combination thereof.

In a case where a semiconductor layer is epitaxially grown on a step shape formed due to CBL (current blocking layer) formation, the crystallinity of the semiconductor layer lowers. Also, a GaN layer that is epitaxially regrown on the CBL is not formed continuously by epitaxial growth, and therefore the crystallinity of the GaN layer lowers. A vertical semiconductor device manufacturing method is provided that comprises: a step of epitaxially growing a gallium nitride-based n-type semiconductor layer on a gallium nitride-based semiconductor substrate; a step of epitaxially growing a gallium nitride-based p-type semiconductor layer on the n-type semiconductor layer; and a step of ion-implanting p-type impurities to form a p+-type embedded region selectively in a predetermined depth range across the boundary between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer.
