    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, which includes an element region and an outer-periphery voltage withstanding region. The outer-periphery voltage withstanding region includes a plurality of p-type guard rings surrounding the element region in a multiple manner. Each of the guard rings includes a high concentration region and a low concentration region. A low concentration region of an outermost guard ring includes a first part positioned on an outer peripheral side of its high concentration region. Respective low concentration regions of the guard rings include respective second parts, each positioned in a range sandwiched between corresponding two adjacent high concentration regions among a plurality of concentration regions. A width of the first part on a front surface is wider than widths of the second parts on the front surface.

    Abstract: An n-type drift region, a p-type first body region and a p-type contact region are formed on an SiC substrate by epitaxial growth. An opening is formed within the contact region by etching such that the first body region is exposed through the opening, and a p-type second body region is formed on the first body region exposed through the opening by epitaxial growth. An n-type source region is formed by epitaxial growth, and an opening is formed within a part of the source region located on the contact region by etching such that the contact region is exposed through the opening. A trench is formed by etching such that the trench extends from the source region to the drift region through the opening of the contact region, and a gate insulating film and a gate electrode are formed within the trench.

    Abstract: An SiC single crystal includes a low dislocation density region (A) where the density of dislocations each of which has a Burgers vector in a {0001} in-plane direction (mainly a direction parallel to a direction) is not more than 3,700 cm/cm3. Such an SiC single crystal is obtained by: cutting out a c-plane growth seed crystal of a high offset angle from an a-plane grown crystal; applying c-plane growth so that the density of screw dislocations introduced into a c-plane facet may fall in a prescribed range; cutting out a c-plane growth crystal of a low offset angle from the obtained c-plane grown crystal; and applying c-plane growth so that the density of screw dislocations introduced into a c-plane facet may fall in a prescribed range. An SiC wafer and a semiconductor device are obtained from such an SiC single crystal.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a cell section having a plurality of gate structures, and an outer peripheral section surrounding the cell section. The cell section includes a semiconductor substrate, the plurality of gate structures, a first electrode and a second electrode. The cell section and the outer peripheral section includes a protective film made of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of the first electrode. The protective film extends from the outer peripheral section to an outer edge portion of the cell section adjacent to the outer peripheral section and covers a portion of the first electrode adjacent to the outer peripheral section.

    Abstract: A trench gate semiconductor switching element is provided. The semiconductor substrate of the element includes a second conductivity type bottom region in contact with the gate insulation layer at a bottom surface of the trench, and a first conductivity type second semiconductor region extending from a position in contact with a lower surface of the body region to a position in contact with a lower surface of the bottom region. The bottom region includes a first bottom region in contact with the gate insulation layer in a first range of the bottom surface positioned at an end in a long direction of the trench and extending from the bottom surface to a first position; and a second bottom region in contact with the gate insulation layer in a second range adjacent to the first range and extending from the bottom surface to a second position lower than the first position.
