Abstract

In a semiconductor device, a source region is made of an epitaxial layer so as to reduce variation in thickness of a base region and variation in a threshold value. Outside of a cell part, a side surface of a gate trench is inclined relative to a normal direction to a main surface of a substrate, as compared with a side surface of a gate trench in the cell part that is provided by the epitaxial layer of the source region being in contact with the base region.
