Abstract

To provide a semiconductor device including a power semiconductor element having improved reliability. The semiconductor device has a cell region and a peripheral region formed outside the cell region. The n type impurity concentration of n type column regions in the cell region is made higher than that of n type column regions comprised of an epitaxial layer in the peripheral region. Further, a charge balance is kept in each of the cell region and the peripheral region and each total electric charge is set so that a total electric charge of first p type column regions and a total electric charge of n type column regions in the cell region become larger than a total electric charge of third p type column regions and n type column regions comprised of an epitaxial layer in the peripheral region, respectively.
