Abstract: A silicon carbide semiconductor device has an active region and a termination structure portion disposed outside of the active region. The silicon carbide semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate of a second conductivity type, a first semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, first semiconductor regions of the second conductivity type, second semiconductor regions of the first conductivity type, a gate insulating film, a gate electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode. During bipolar operation, a smaller density among an electron density and a hole density of an end of the second semiconductor layer in the termination structure portion is at most 1×1015/cm3.

Abstract: An aluminum electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element having lead terminals; an armor case housing the capacitor element; and a rubber seal having a terminal passage hole for the lead terminals drilled therein and mounted on an opening section of the armor case. A hole diameter of a lead wire passage hole is smaller than an outside diameter of an outside lead wire, and a conical guide surface of progressively smaller diameter is formed between a round bar mating hole and the lead wire passage hole within a terminal passage hole. A passage guide part of progressively smaller diameter from a lead wire body is integrally furnished at an end of the outside lead wire so as to have a smaller diameter than the hole diameter of the lead wire passage hole, forming a conical sloped surface having a predetermined angle on a peripheral surface of the passage guide part.

Abstract: A lead terminal is passed through a terminal passage hole of a rubber seal, without imposing an excessive burden such that the characteristics of the capacitor element would be degraded, and while maintaining a state of reliable isolation from the outside air. In an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in which the hole diameter f2 of a lead wire passage hole (52) is smaller than the outside diameter f1 of an outside lead wire (22), the outside lead wire (22) being forcibly passed to the outside through lead wire passage hole (52), a conical guide surface (53) of progressively smaller diameter is formed between a round bar mating hole (51) and the lead wire passage hole (52) within a terminal passage hole (5).
