Patent number: 8937319Abstract: A third insulating layer is formed in a periphery region of a substrate over a first surface (main surface) of the substrate so as to straddle a second semiconductor layer closest to a guard ring layer and a second semiconductor layer closest to the second semiconductor layer. In other words, the third insulating layer is formed to cover a portion of the first semiconductor layer, which is exposed to the first surface (main surface) of the substrate and which is between the second semiconductor layers. Thereby, the third insulating layer electrically insulates the metal layer from the portion of the first semiconductor layer, which is exposed to the first surface (main surface) of the substrate and which is between the second semiconductor layers.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Maeyama, Ryohei Osawa, Yoshitaka Araki, Yoshiyuki Watanabe
