Abstract
A first semiconductor element portion for switching a first current includes a first channel surface having a first plane orientation. A first region of a semiconductor layer includes a first trench having the first channel surface. A first gate insulating film covers the first channel surface with a first thickness. A second semiconductor element portion for switching a second current smaller than the first current includes a second channel surface having a second plane orientation different from the first plane orientation. A second region of the semiconductor layer includes a second trench having the second channel surface. A second gate insulating film covers the second channel surface with a second thickness larger than the first thickness.
