Abstract

A semiconductor device including a semiconductor element is provided. The semiconductor element includes a saturation current suppression layer formed above a drift layer and including electric field block layers arranged in a stripe manner and JFET portions arranged in a stripe manner. The electric field block layers and the JFET portions are alternately arranged. The semiconductor element includes trench gate structures. A longer direction of the trench gate structure intersects with a longer direction of the electric field block layer and a longer direction of JFET portion. The JFET portion includes a first layer having a first conductivity type impurity concentration larger than the drift layer and a second layer formed above the first layer and having a first conductivity type impurity concentration smaller than the first layer.
