Abstract
A MOSFET used in a power conversion circuit including a reactor, a power source, the MOSFET, and a rectifier element, includes a semiconductor base substrate having an n-type column region and a p-type column region, the n-type column region and the p-type column region forming a super junction structure, the n-type column region and the p-type column region are formed such that a total amount of a dopant in the p-type column region is set higher than a total amount of a dopant in the n-type column region, and the MOSFET is configured to be operated in response to turning on of the MOSFET such that at a center of the n-type column region as viewed in a plan view, a low electric field region having lower field intensity than areas of the n-type column region other than the center of the n-type column region appears.
