摘要： Disclosed is a semiconductor device facilitating a peripheral portion thereof with a breakdown voltage higher than the breakdown voltage in the drain drift layer without employing a guard ring or field plate. A preferred embodiment includes a drain drift region with a first alternating conductivity type layer formed of n drift current path regions and p partition regions arranged alternately with each other, and a breakdown withstanding region with a second alternating conductivity type layer formed of n regions and p regions arranged alternately with each other, the breakdown withstanding region providing no current path in the ON-state of the device and being depleted in the OFF-state of the device. Since depletion layers expand in both directions from multiple pn-junctions into n regions and p regions in the OFF-state of the device, the adjacent areas of p-type base regions, the outer area of the semiconductor chip and the deep area of the semiconductor chip are depleted. Thus, the breakdown voltage of breakdown withstanding region is higher than the breakdown voltage of drain drift region.

摘要： A method of manufacturing reduces costs and provides an excellent mass-productivity, super-junction semiconductor device, which facilitates reducing times of heat treatment of the alternating conductivity type layer subjects, and preventing the characteristics of the alternating conductivity type layer from being impaired. A surface MOSFET structure, including p-type base regions, p+-type contact region in p-type base region, an n+-type source region in p-type base region, a gate electrode layer and a source electrode, is formed in the surface portion of an n-type semiconductor substrate through the usual double difflusion MOSFET manufacturing process. An oxide film is deposited by the CVD method on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, a resist mask for defining p-type partition regions is formed on the oxide film, the oxide film is removed by ion etching, and trenches are dug. The p-type epitaxial layers are buried in the trenches by selective epitaxial growth, and the remaining oxide film is removed. The portions of n-type semiconductor substrate not etched off remain as n-type drift regions, resulting in an alternating conductivity type layer formed of n-type drift regions and p-type partition regions. A drain electrode is deposited on the back surface of alternating conductivity type layer.
