Abstract

A semiconductor device (100) comprises: a semiconductor substrate (1); a drift region (2) of a first conductivity type having a trench in part of an upper portion thereof and arranged on a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate (100); an electric field reducing region (4) of a second conductivity type arranged, in a bottom portion of the trench, only around a corner portion and not in a center portion; an anode electrode (9) embedded in the trench; and a cathode electrode (10) arranged on a second main surface of the semiconductor substrate (100) which is opposite to the first main surface.
