Abstract: To improve characteristics of a semiconductor device. A first p-type semiconductor region having an impurity of a conductivity type opposite from that of a drift layer is arranged in the drift layer below a trench, and a second p-type semiconductor region is further arranged that is spaced at a distance from a region where the trench is formed as seen from above and that has the impurity of the conductivity type opposite from that of the drift layer. The second p-type semiconductor region is configured by a plurality of regions arranged at a space in a Y direction (depth direction in the drawings). Thus, it is possible to reduce the specific on-resistance while maintaining the breakdown voltage of the gate insulating film by providing the first and second p-type semiconductor regions and further by arranging the second p-type semiconductor region spaced by the space.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a plurality of unit cells. Each of the plurality of unit cells has a pair of column regions, a pair of trenches formed between the pair of column regions in the X direction, and a pair of gate electrodes formed in the pair of trenches via a gate insulating film, respectively. The two unit cells adjacent in the X direction share one column region of the pair of column regions and are arranged to be symmetrical about the shared column region. Here, a distance between the two trenches, which are adjacent with the one column region interposed therebetween, of the trenches in the two adjacent unit cells is different from a distance between the pair of trenches in the one unit cell.
