摘要 |
A vertical-type semiconductor device for controlling a current flowing between electrodes opposed against each other across a semiconductor substrate, including: a semiconductor substrate having first and second surfaces opposed against each other; a first electrode formed in the first surface; a second electrode formed in the second surface through a high-resistance electrode whose resistance is Rs; and a third electrode formed along at least a part of the outer periphery of the second surface, wherein a potential difference Vs between the second and third electrodes is measured with a current I flowing between the first and second electrodes, and the current I is detected from the resistance Rs and the potential difference Vs.
