A second trench in each source electrode portion (Schottky diode portion) is formed to have a depth equal to or larger than the depth of a first trench in each gate electrode portion. The distance between the first and second trenches is set to be not longer than 10 μm. A source electrode is formed in the second trench and a Schottky junction is formed in the bottom portion of the second trench. In this manner, it is possible to provide a wide band gap semiconductor device which is small-sized, which has low on-resistance and low loss characteristic, in which electric field concentration into a gate insulating film is relaxed to suppress reduction of a withstand voltage, and which has high avalanche breakdown tolerance at turn-off time.
