Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a capacitance adjusting region. The capacitance adjusting region includes a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, and a plurality of control trench gates. The first semiconductor layer is provided as a surface layer at an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The second semiconductor layer is selectively provided at an upper surface of the first semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor layer contacts a side surface of each of the control trench gates. The first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer are electrically connected to an emitter electrode of a transistor. A control trench electrode of at least one control trench gate is electrically connected to a gate electrode of the transistor.
