A semiconductor device (A1) includes a semiconductor layer having a first face with a trench (3) formed thereon and a second face to the first face, a gate electrode (41), and a gate insulating layer (5) . The semiconductor layer includes a first n-type semiconductor layer (11), a second n-type semiconductor layer (12), a p-type semiconductor layer (13), and an n-type semiconductor region (14). The trench (3) is formed so as to penetrate through the p-type semiconductor layer (13) and to reach the second n-type semiconductor layer (12). The p-type semiconductor layer (13) includes an extended portion extending to a position closer to the second face of the semiconductor layer than the trench (3) is. Such structure allows suppressing dielectric breakdown in the gate insulating layer (5). |
