Abstract
A semiconductor device of the present invention includes a semiconductor layer, a source region and a drain region formed in a surface of the semiconductor layer, both having a first conductivity type, a plurality of gate trenches each formed so as to extend across the source region and the drain region, in a plan view observed in a direction of a normal to the surface of the semiconductor layer, a channel region of a first conductivity type made of the semiconductor layer sandwiched by the gate trenches adjacent to each other, having a channel length along a direction extending from the drain region to the source region, and a gate electrode buried in the gate trench via a gate insulating film, and the channel region has a thickness in the plan view not more than two times a width of a depletion layer to be generated due to a built-in potential between the channel region and the gate electrode.
