Abstract
A semiconductor device of an embodiment includes an element region and a termination region surrounding the element region. The element region includes a gate trench, a first silicon carbide region of n-type, a second silicon carbide region of p-type on the first silicon carbide region, a third silicon carbide region of n-type on the second silicon carbide region, and a fourth silicon carbide region of p-type sandwiches the first silicon carbide region and the second silicon carbide region with the gate trench, the fourth silicon carbide region being deeper than the gate trench. The termination region includes a first trench surrounding the element region, and a fifth silicon carbide region of p-type between the first trench and the first silicon carbide region, the fifth silicon carbide region same or shallower than the fourth silicon carbide region. The semiconductor device includes a gate electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode.
