Abstract

This invention clarifies the effects of parameters and enables the mass production of a super-junction semiconductor device, which has a drift layer composed of a parallel pn layer that conducts electricity in the ON state and is depleted in the OFF state. The quantity of impurities in n drift regions is within the range between 100% and 150% or between 110% and 150% of the quantity of impurities in p partition regions. The impurity density of either one of the n drift regions and the p partition regions is within the range between 92% and 108% of the impurity density of the other regions. In addition, the width of either one of the n drift regions and the p partition regions is within the range between 94% and 106% of the width of the other regions.
