Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes first and second electrodes and a silicon carbide layer located between the first and second electrodes. A plurality of gate electrodes is interposed between the first electrode and the silicon carbide layer and extends in a first direction. The silicon carbide layer includes a plurality of spaced apart openings having sidewalls and a base which extend inwardly between the gate electrodes, a first region containing a second conductivity type impurity extending around and under the openings, and a second region containing a second conductivity type impurity interposed between the portion of the first region extending under the base of the openings. The concentration of the second conductivity type impurity is greater in the second region than in the first region. The silicon carbide layer includes a third region containing a first conductivity type impurity extending inwardly of the first region from the sidewall of the openings.
