Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor part, first and second electrodes, and a control electrode. The semiconductor part is provided between the first and second electrodes. The control electrode is provided in a trench of the semiconductor part between the semiconductor part and the second electrode. The semiconductor part includes first to third layers. The first layer of a first conductivity type extends between the first and second electrodes. The second layer of a second conductivity type is provided between the first layer and the second electrode. The second layer is connected to the second electrode. The third layer of the second conductivity type is provided between the second layer and the control electrode. The third layer includes a second-conductivity-type impurity with a higher concentration than a second-conductivity-type impurity of the second layer. The third layer contacts the second electrode, and is electrically connected to the second electrode.
