Abstract

A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a base region of a second conductivity type formed on a principal surface of the semiconductor substrate, a trench formed in a periphery of the base region, and an endless source region of the first conductivity type formed on a surface of the base region along the trench. In this semiconductor apparatus, the principal planes on side surfaces of the trench are composed of planes [100] and [110]. The interior angle of intersection of adjacent side surfaces of the trench is 135°. A minimum distance between the base region and the plane [110] facing each other through the source region is shorter than a minimum distance between the base region and the plane [100] facing each other through the source region.
