Abstract
In a termination region of a SiC-MOSFET, suppressing operation of a p-n diode between a well and a drift layer sometimes decreases reliability during high-speed switching. In a termination region of a SiC-MOSFET with a built-in SBD are provided second well region having an impurity concentration lower than the impurity concentration in a well region in an active region, and a high-concentration region that is formed on a surface layer of the second well region, has an impurity concentration higher than the impurity concentration in the well region in the active region, and is ohmic-connected to a source electrode.
