Abstract
[Object] To provide a semiconductor device capable of improving a discharge starting voltage when measuring electric characteristics, and widening a pad area of a surface electrode or increasing the number of semiconductor devices (number of chips) to be obtained from one wafer, and a method for manufacturing the same. [Solution Means] A semiconductor deviceincludes an n-type SiC layerhaving a first surfaceA, a second surfaceB, and end facesC, a p-type voltage relaxing layerformed in the SiC layerso as to be exposed to the end portion of the first surfaceA of the SiC layer, an insulating layerformed on the SiC layerso as to cover the voltage relaxing layer, and an anode electrodethat is connected to the first surfaceA of the SiC layerthrough the insulating layerand has a pad areaselectively exposed.
