Abstract
A plurality of trenches are formed in a drift region between a p-type body region and an-type buffer region. A silicon oxide film is formed on the side and bottom of each of the trenches, and an SIPOS film is buried into each of the trenches. The trenches are formed by RIE, and the SIPOS film is deposited by LPCVD and an undesired portion can be removed by dry etching such as RIE. The SIPOS film is connected to a source electrode at the source end of each trench, and it is connected to a drain electrode directly or through a resistor at the drain end thereof. When a high voltage is applied, a depletion layer expands in the n-type drift region from an interface between the n-type drift region and the trench on each side of the n-type drift region, therefore, the impurity concentration of the n-type drift region can be heightened without lowering the high breakdown voltage, and the resistance of the drift region can be decreased.
