Abstract

A semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The manufacturing method includes steps of: depositing an N-drift layer on a substrate, conducting an ion implant process on the N-drift layer to form a plurality of P-type pillars, depositing a N-type epitaxial layer on the P-type pillars, conducting an ion implant process on the N-type epitaxial layer to form a first P-type epitaxial layer and at least one localized P region, conducting a field oxidation to the first P-type epitaxial layer to form a second P-type epitaxial layer, and forming a field oxide layer on the first P-type epitaxial layer and the N-type epitaxial layer. The localized P region passes though the N-type epitaxial layer to the field oxide layer.
