Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate, an upper electrode, a lower electrode and a gate electrode. In the semiconductor substrate, a body region, a pillar region, and a barrier region are formed. The pillar region has an n-type impurity, is formed on a lateral side of the body region, and extends along a depth from a top surface of the semiconductor substrate to a lower end of the body region. The barrier region has an n-type impurity and is formed on a lower side of the body region and the pillar region. The barrier region is formed on the lower side of the pillar region. An n-type impurity concentration distribution in a depth direction in the pillar region and the barrier region has a maximum value in the pillar region. The n-type impurity concentration distribution has a folding point on a side deeper than the maximum value.
