  • Publication number: 20230114260
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of suppressing breakdown of the semiconductor device by a full depletion of a semiconductor layer. The semiconductor device includes: a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type provided on a second main surface side of a semiconductor base body; a second semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type having a first conductivity type impurity concentration lower than that of the first semiconductor layer and provided closer to a first main surface than the first semiconductor layer is; and a third semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type provided closer to the first main surface than the second semiconductor layer is. An impurity concentration distribution of the third semiconductor layer with respect to thickness direction of the semiconductor base body has a plurality of peaks. A thickness W of the third semiconductor layer satisfies a certain condition.
