Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having an n-type semiconductor region forming one of the main surfaces of a semiconductor substrate, with a plurality of p-type semiconductor regions formed in the n-type semiconductor region. Two exposed n-type semiconductor regions are formed on each of the p-type semiconductor regions, with a main electrode formed on the n-type semiconductor regions and the exposed p-type semiconductor region therebetween. An insulated gate extends from one of the n-type semiconductor regions in one of the p-type semiconductor regions to a closer one of the n-type semiconductor regions in an adjacent p-type semiconductor region. The length of the insulated gate is longer than a distance between adjacent insulated gates.
