Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes: forming a first-conductivity-type semiconductor region on a semiconductor layer; forming a mask member on the first-conductivity-type semiconductor region; selectively forming an opening in the mask member; etching the first-conductivity-type semiconductor region exposed to the opening to form a trench having a larger diameter than the opening and an eaves-like mask projected above the trench and made of the mask member; and forming a second-conductivity-type semiconductor region in the trench below the eaves-like mask by epitaxial growth to form a structure section in which the first-conductivity-type semiconductor region and the second-conductivity-type semiconductor region are alternately repeated in a direction generally parallel to a major surface of the semiconductor layer.
