Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer which includes a cell region portion and a junction terminating region portion. The junction terminating region portion is a region portion which is positioned in an outer periphery of the cell region portion to maintain a breakdown voltage by extending a depletion layer to attenuate an electric field.
