A transistor and diode having a low resistance and a high breakdown voltage are provided. When the bottom portion of a narrow trench having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped is filled with a semiconductor grown by epitaxial method, a {1 0 0} plane is exposed at the sidewalls of the narrow trench. The semiconductor is epitaxially grown at a constant rate on each sidewall of the narrow trench; thereby, creating a filling material with no voids present therein. The concentration and width of the filling material are optimized. This allows the portion located between the filling materials in a drain layer to be completely depleted when the filling material is completely depleted; thereby, making it possible to establish an electric field having a constant strength in the depletion layer extended in the drain layer.

An active groove filled region 23a is kept at a portion of an active groove 22a connecting to an embedded region 24 positioned below a gate groove 83. The active groove filled region 23a connects to a source electrode film 58a so as to have the same electric potential as a source region 64. When a reverse bias is applied between a base region 32a and a conductive layer 12, a reverse bias is also applied between the embedded region 24 and the conductive layer 12; and therefore, depletion layers spread out together and a withstanding voltage is increased.

A semiconductor device having improved breakdown voltage is provided. A diode device of the present invention includes relay diffusion layers provided between guard ring portions. Therefore, a depletion layer expanded outward from the guard ring portions except the outermost one reaches these relay diffusion layers, and then the outer guard ring portions. The width of the distance between the guard ring portions is shorter where the relay diffusion layers are provided. For the width of the relay diffusion layers, the depletion layer reaches the outer guard ring portions with a lower voltage than the conventional structure.

A semiconductor device having high withstand voltage is provided. An active groove 22a includes a long and narrow main groove part 26 and a sub groove part 27 connected to a longitudinal side surface of the main groove part, and a buried region 24 of a second conductivity type whose height is lower than the bottom surface of the base diffusion region 32a of the second conductivity type is provided on the bottom surface of the main groove part 26. An active groove filling region 25 of the second conductivity type in contact with the base diffusion region 32a is provided in the sub groove part 27. The buried region 24 is contacted to the base diffusion region 32a through the active groove filling region 25. Since one gate groove 83 is formed by the part above the buried region 24 in one active groove 22a, the gate electrode plugs 48 are not separated, which allows the electrode pattern to be simplified.

A semiconductor device having guard grooves uniformly filled with a semiconductor filler is provided. The four corners of a rectangular ring-shaped guard groove meet at right angles, and outer and inner auxiliary diffusion regions both rounded are connected to the four corners. Since the guard grooves do not have to be rounded, the plane orientation of a silicon single crystal exposed inside the guard grooves can be all {100}. Therefore, epitaxial growth in the guard grooves is uniformly carried out, and the grooves are filled with guard regions without defects.

A technique for improving a ruggedness of a transistor against breakdown is provided. In a transistor of the present invention, a height of filling regions is higher than that of buried regions, so that a withstanding voltage of the filling regions is higher than that of the buried regions. Therefore, since avalanche breakdown occurs in an active region, causing an avalanche breakdown current to flow through the active region having a large area, current concentration does not occur. As a result, a ruggedness of an element against breakdown is increased.
