Abstract
A super-junction semiconductor is provided that facilitates easy mass-production thereof, reducing the tradeoff relation between the on-resistance and the breakdown voltage, obtaining a high breakdown voltage and reducing the on-resistance to increase the current capacity thereof. The super-junction semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip having a first major surface and a second major surface facing in opposite to the first major surface; a layer with low electrical resistance on the side of the second major surface; a first alternating conductivity type layer on low resistance layer, and a second alternating conductivity type layer on the first alternating conductivity type layer. The first alternating conductivity type layer including regions of a first conductivity type and regions of a second conductivity type arranged alternately with each other. The second alternating conductivity type layer including regions of the first conductivity type and regions of the second conductivity type arranged alternately with each other. The spacing between the pn-junctions in the second alternating conductivity type layer is wider than the spacing between the pn-junctions in the f…
