Abstract

An injection enhanced insulated gate bipolar transistor is disclosed in which an average roughness of silicon on the side and bottom surfaces of trench grooves below a gate oxide film is made to be 0.6 nm or smaller. Irregular portions on the surface of silicon of the gate oxide film can be prevented. Thus, lowering of the gate breakdown voltage occurring because of dispersion of the thickness of the gate oxide film due to the irregular portions can be prevented.
