Abstract
A superjunction semiconductor device is disclosed in which the tradeoff relationship between on-resistance and breakdown voltage is improved greatly so that reverse recovery capability is improved. A drain drift portion substantially corresponds to a portion just under p-base regions serving as an active region and forms a first parallel pn structure in which a first n-type region and a first p-type region are joined to each other alternately and repeatedly. A drain drift portion is surrounded by edge termination region including a second parallel pn structure. Edge termination region is formed such that second n-type and p-type regions oriented consecutively to the first parallel pn structure of the drain drift portion are joined to each other alternately and repeatedly. N-buffer layer is provided between first and second parallel pn structures and n+ drain layer. P-buffer layer is provided selectively inside n-buffer layer in edge termination region.
