Abstract
A vertical metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, including a starting substrate of a first conductivity type, a second first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer provided on a first surface of the starting substrate via a first first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer, a first semiconductor region of the first conductivity type provided as a portion of the second first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer, a second-conductivity-type epitaxial layer forming a pn junction interface with the second first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer and supplying a minority carrier to the second first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer, a plurality of second semiconductor regions of the first conductivity type selectively provided in the second-conductivity-type epitaxial layer, a plurality of trenches penetrating through the second semiconductor regions and the second-conductivity-type epitaxial layer, and a plurality of gate electrodes provided in the trenches via gate insulating films. A lifetime of the minority carrier of the first semiconductor region is shorter than that of the rest of the second first-conductivity-type epitaxial layer.
