Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and a control electrode provided on a first surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes a first area on the first surface side and two second areas on the first surface side of the first area. The two second areas are arranged along the first surface. The control electrode provided above a portion of the first area between the two second areas. The first area includes a main portion and a peripheral edge portion extending outward from the main portion along the first surface. A depth of the peripheral edge portion from the first surface is shallower than a depth of the main portion from the first surface; and the peripheral edge portion has a concentration of second conductivity type impurities lower than a concentration of the second conductivity type impurities at a surface of the main portion.
