Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an active region, a gate ring region surrounding a periphery of the active region, and a source ring region surrounding a periphery of the gate ring region. The semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a first semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, and a second electrode. The semiconductor device has, in the active region, first semiconductor regions of the first conductivity type, a gate insulating film, first gate electrodes, an interlayer insulating film and a first first-electrode, and has, in the source ring region, a third semiconductor region and a second first-electrode. In the source ring region, a second semiconductor region of the first or second conductivity type is provided at a bottom of the third semiconductor region, directly below the second first-electrode in a depth direction of the semiconductor device.
