Abstract

Aspects of the invention are related to a semiconductor device including a first conductivity type n-type drift layer, a second conductivity type VLD region which is formed on a chip inner circumferential side of a termination structure region provided on one principal surface of the n-type drift layer and which is higher in concentration than the n-type drift layer, and a second conductivity type first clip layer which is formed on a chip outer circumferential side of the VLD region so as to be separated from the VLD region and which is higher in concentration than the n-type drift layer. The invention can also include a first conductivity type channel stopper layer which is formed on a chip outer circumferential side of the first clip layer so as to be separated from the first clip layer and which is higher in concentration than the n-type drift layer.
