Abstract
To provide a super-junction MOSFET reducing the tradeoff relation between the on-resistance and the breakdown voltage greatly and having a peripheral structure, which facilitates reducing the leakage current in the OFF-state thereof and stabilizing the breakdown voltage thereof. The vertical MOSFET according to the invention includes a drain drift region including a first alternating conductivity type layer; a breakdown withstanding region (peripheral region) including a second alternating conductivity type layer around drain drift region, second alternating conductivity type layer being formed of layer-shaped vertically-extending n-type regions and layer-shaped vertically-extending p-type regions laminated alternately; an n-type region around second alternating conductivity type layer; and a p-type region formed in the surface portion of n-type region to reduce the leakage current in the OFF-state of the MOSFET.
