Abstract
A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a semiconductor layer of SiC of a first conductivity type, a plurality of body regions of a second conductivity type formed in the surface portion of the semiconductor layer with each body region forming a unit cell, a source region of the first conductivity type formed in the inner portion of the body region, a gate electrode facing the body region across a gate insulating film, a drain region of the first conductivity type and a collector region of the second conductivity type formed in the rear surface portion of the semiconductor layer such that the drain region and the collector region adjoin each other, and a drift region between the body region and the drain region, wherein the collector region is formed such that the collector region covers a region including at least two unit cells in the x-axis direction along the surface of the semiconductor layer.
