Abstract
A semiconductor device including: a trench gate; a trench-bottom protecting layer of a second conductivity type provided in a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type while contacting a bottom of trenches; and a depletion suppressing layer of the first conductivity type provided between adjacent trench-bottom protecting layers, wherein the depletion suppressing layer includes an intermediate point that is horizontally equidistant to the adjacent trench-bottom protecting layers and is formed of a size to contact neither the trenches nor the trench-bottom protecting layers, and an impurity concentration of the depletion suppressing layer is set higher than an impurity concentration of the semiconductor layer.
