Abstract

A power MOSFET semiconductor device high in breakdown voltage and low in resistance can be manufactured at a low cost and in a short turnaround time. In a planar-type power MOSFET, a manufacture method comprises forming a trench in a drift region, and forming a body diffusion layer on a trench side wall and bottom portion (forming the trench and subsequently performing diffusion) to obtain a structure. Deep body diffusion formation is effective for obtaining the high breakdown voltage and low resistance, but to attain the structure, usually epitaxial growth and selective formation of a deep body region have to be performed a plurality of times, and with an increase of manufacture steps, souring of manufacture cost and lengthening of manufacture period are caused. However, the present structure can further simply bring about the similar effect. It is possible to supply the power MOSFET semiconductor device at the low cost and in the short manufacture turnaround time.
