  • Patent number: 11715795
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a first transistor disposed in a first region of a semiconductor layer and a second transistor disposed in a second region of the semiconductor layer, and includes, on the surface of the semiconductor layer, first source pads, a first gate pad, second source pads, and a second gate pad. In the plan view of the semiconductor layer, the first and second transistors are aligned in a first direction; the first gate pad is disposed such that none of the first source pads is disposed between the first gate pad and a side parallel to the first direction and located closest to the first gate pad; and the second gate pad is disposed such that none of the second source pads is disposed between the second gate pad and a side parallel to the first direction and located closest to the second gate pad.

  • Patent number: 11637176
    Abstract: Provided is a first vertical field effect transistor in which first source regions and first connection portions via which a first body region is connected to a first source electrode are disposed alternately and cyclically in a first direction in which first trenches extend. In a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, Lxm?Lxr?0.20 ?m holds true where Lxm denotes a distance between adjacent first trenches and Lxr denotes the inner width of a first trench. The lengths of the first connection portions are in a convergence region in which the on-resistance of the vertical field effect transistor at the time when a voltage having a specification value is applied to first gate conductors to supply current having a specification value does not decrease noticeably even when the lengths of the first connection portions are made much shorter.
