Abstract

A device that increases a value of current flowing through a whole chip until a p-n diode in a unit cell close to a termination operates and reduces a size of the chip and a cost of the chip resulting from the reduced size. The device includes a second well region located to sandwich the entirety of a plurality of first well regions therein in plan view, a third separation region located to penetrate the second well region from a surface layer of the second well region in a depth direction, and a second Schottky electrode provided on the third separation region.
