摘要:
A semiconductor device includes a super junction region that has a first-conductivity-type first semiconductor pillar region and a second-conductivity-type second semiconductor pillar region alternately provided on the semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor pillar region and the second semiconductor pillar region in a termination region have a lamination form resulting from alternate lamination of the first semiconductor pillar region and the second semiconductor pillar region on the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor pillar region and/or the second semiconductor pillar region at a corner part of the termination region exhibit an impurity concentration distribution such that a plurality of impurity concentration peaks appear periodically. The first semiconductor pillar region and/or the second semiconductor pillar region at a corner part of the termination region have an impurity amount such that it becomes smaller as being closer to the circumference of the corner part.
