Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a plurality of unit cells. Each of the plurality of unit cells has a pair of column regions, a pair of trenches formed between the pair of column regions in the X direction, and a pair of gate electrodes formed in the pair of trenches via a gate insulating film, respectively. The two unit cells adjacent in the X direction share one column region of the pair of column regions and are arranged to be symmetrical about the shared column region. Here, a distance between the two trenches, which are adjacent with the one column region interposed therebetween, of the trenches in the two adjacent unit cells is different from a distance between the pair of trenches in the one unit cell.
