Patent attributes
The power semiconductor device according to one embodiment of the present invention at least comprises: first pillar layers of the first conductive type and second pillar layers of a second conductive type which constitute a super-junction structure in a device section and which are arranged alternately in a horizontal direction, each of the first and second pillar layers having a column-shaped sectional structure; third pillar layers of the first conductive type and fourth pillar layers of the second conductive type which are adjacent to the super-junction structure of the device section to constitute another super-junction structure thinner in a vertical direction than the super-junction structure of the device section in a device termination section and which are arranged alternately in a horizontal direction, each of the third and fourth pillar layers having a column-shaped sectional structure; an outermost pillar layer which is stacked on one of the third or fourth pillar layers in the super-junction structure of the device termination section nearest to the device section to be additionally formed to an outermost portion of the super-junction structure of the device section nearest to the device termination section and which has an impurity concentration less than that of each of the first and second pillar layers; a high resistance layer of the first conductive type which is formed on the third pillar layers and the fourth pillar layers and has a resistance value higher than that of each of the first and second pillar layers.
