    Abstract: A trench gate MOSFET has at an n-type current spreading region between an n−-type drift region and a p-type base region, a first p+-type region facing a bottom of a trench, and a second p+-type region disposed between adjacent trenches. The first and the second p+-type regions extend parallel to a first direction in which the trench extends and are partially connected by a p+-type connecting portion and thus, disposed in a ladder shape when viewed from the front surface of a semiconductor substrate. The second p+-type region has at a portion of a surface on a drain side, a recessed portion that is recessed toward a source side. One or more recessed portions is provided between connection sites in the second p+-type region for connection with the p+-type connecting portions that are adjacent to each other in the first direction X.

    Abstract: In a first main surface of a silicon carbide semiconductor base, a trench is formed. On a first main surface side of the silicon carbide semiconductor base, an n-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer is deposited. In a surface of the n-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer, an n-type high-concentration region is provided. In the surface of the n-type silicon carbide epitaxial layer, a first p-type base region and a second p+-type base region are selectively provided. The second p+-type base region is formed at the bottom of the trench. A depth of the n-type high-concentration region is deeper than that of the first p-type base region and the second p+-type base region. Thus, by an easy method, the electric field at a gate insulating film at the bottom of the trench is mitigated, enabling the breakdown voltage of the active region to be maintained and the ON resistance to be lowered.

    Abstract: A silicon carbide epitaxial layer formed by a low concentration wide band gap semiconductor of a first conductivity type is formed on the surface of a silicon carbide substrate formed by a high concentration wide band gap semiconductor of the first conductivity type. A Schottky electrode is formed on the silicon carbide epitaxial layer. The interface between the Schottky electrode and the silicon carbide epitaxial layer is used as a Schottky interface. Plural impurity regions of a second conductivity type are disposed at predetermined intervals in a lateral direction, in the silicon carbide epitaxial layer, at a position in the lower portion of the Schottky electrode in the depth direction. Because of the shape of the impurity regions, any leak current can be suppressed without raising the ON-resistance.
