Abstract
A highly reliable semiconductor device capable of preventing generation of a leakage current is provided. The semiconductor device comprises a silicon substrate having a main surface and including a trench formed on the main surface. The trench is defined by surfaces including a bottom surface, a side surface, continuous to the bottom surface, having first inclination with respect to the main surface, and an intermediate surface, formed between the main surface and the bottom surface, having second inclination smaller than the first inclination with respect to the main surface. The semiconductor device further comprises an n-type impurity region.
