Abstract
A semiconductor device according to one embodiment includes a semiconductor substrate having a main surface and a back surface opposite to the main surface, a drift region of a first conductivity type, a base region of a second conductivity type, a source region of the first conductivity type, and a gate electrode. The semiconductor substrate has a trench in the main surface. The gate electrode is formed in the trench. A distribution of an impurity concentration in the base region has a plurality of peak values along a direction of depth from the main surface toward the back surface, and the number of peak values is four or more.
