Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a top electrode in contact with a top surface of the semiconductor substrate, a bottom electrode in contact with a bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate, and an oxide film in contact with the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes an element region and an outer peripheral region. The element region is a region where the top electrode is in contact with the top surface of the semiconductor substrate. The outer peripheral region is a region where the oxide film is in contact with the top surface of the semiconductor substrate, and is located between the element region and an outer peripheral end surface of the semiconductor substrate. The element region includes a semiconductor element connected between the top electrode and the bottom electrode. The outer peripheral region includes surface high-voltage-breakdown regions, deep high-voltage-breakdown regions, and a drift region.
