Abstract
A semiconductor device sets an impurity density of a p base layer in a bevel end-face region to a density lower than that in an operating region and has a parasitic channel preventive region provided between the bevel end-face region and the operating region. Since the blocking-voltage and the current-carrying capacity can be adjusted independently from each other, the blocking voltage and the current-carrying capacity can be both improved.
