Abstract
A semiconductor device includes one or more trench gates extending in a first direction in plan view, one or more first-conductivity-type regions spaced away from each other in the first direction, where the first-conductivity-type regions are shallower than the trench gates, one or more second-conductivity-type regions alternating with the first-conductivity-type regions in the first direction, where the second-conductivity-type regions are shallower than the trench gates and deeper than the first-conductivity-type regions, and a second-conductivity-type trench spacer region spaced away from the one or more trench gates, where the trench spacer region has a higher concentration than the second-conductivity-type regions. Here, the trench spacer region is positioned within the first-conductivity-type regions in plan view and closer to a back surface of the semiconductor device than the first-conductivity-type regions are.
