Abstract

A highly reliable semiconductor device with high withstand voltage is provided. As means therefor, an impurity concentration in a first JTE region is set to 4.4×10 17 cm −3 or higher and 6×10 17 cm −3 or lower and an impurity concentration in a second JTE region is set to 2×10 17 cm −3 or lower in a case of a Schottky diode, and an impurity concentration in the first JTE region is set to 6×10 17 cm −3 or higher and 8×10 17 cm −3 or lower and an impurity concentration in the second JTE region is set to 2×10 17 cm −3 or lower in a case of a junction barrier Schottky diode.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a main junction region on a drift region having an n-type conductivity; and

a p-type JTE region formed adjacently around the main junction region,

wherein the JTE region includes a first JTE region and a second JTE region each having a substantially equal impurity concentration in a vicinity of a junction depth,

wherein the first JTE region is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the second JTE regions, and

wherein an impurity concentration in the first JTE region is set to 4.4×10 17 cm −3 or higher and 8×10 17 cm −3 or lower and an impurity concentration in the second JTE region is set to 2×10 17 cm −3 or lower in a case of a Schottky diode.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a difference in impurity concentration between the first JTE region and the second JTE region at a p-n junction depth is substantially zero.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a ratio between width and space of the second JTE regions decreases in accordance with a distance from the main junction region.

4. A semiconductor device comprising:

a main junction region on a drift region having an n-type conductivity; and

a p-type JTE region formed adjacently around the main junction region,

wherein the JTE region includes a first JTE region and a second JTE region each having a substantially equal impurity concentration in a vicinity of a junction depth,

wherein the first JTE region is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the second JTE regions, and

wherein an impurity concentration in the first JTE region is set to 6×10 17 cm −3 or higher and 8×10 17 cm −3 or lower and an impurity concentration in the second JTE region is set to 2×10 17 cm −3 or lower in a case of a junction barrier Schottky diode.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a difference in impurity concentration between the first JTE region and the second JTE region at a p-n junction depth is substantially zero.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a ratio between width and space of the second JTE regions decreases in accordance with a distance from the main junction region.
