Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a drift region formed on a main surface of the substrate; a well region formed in a main surface of the drift region; a source region formed in the well region; a gate groove formed from the main surface of the drift region in a perpendicular direction while being in contact with the source region, the well region, and the drift region; a drain region formed in the main surface of the drift region; a gate electrode formed on a surface of the gate groove with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween; a protection region formed on a surface of the gate insulating film facing the drain region; and a connection region formed in contact with the well region and the protection region.
