Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a second conductivity type second semiconductor region provided on one surface side of a first conductivity type first semiconductor region; a plurality of trenches penetrating the second semiconductor region in the depth direction to reach the first semiconductor region and disposed in a stripe form planar pattern; a gate electrode provided across a gate dielectric inside the trench; a first conductivity type third semiconductor region selectively provided at predetermined intervals in a first direction in which the trench extends in stripe form in a mesa portion of the second semiconductor region sandwiched between neighboring trenches; a second conductivity type fourth semiconductor region, with an impurity concentration higher than that of the second semiconductor region, provided in contact with the third semiconductor region in the mesa portion so as to be repeatedly alternately disposed with the third semiconductor region in the first direction; and a second conductivity type fifth semiconductor region, with an impurity concentration higher than that of the second semiconductor region and an impurity concentration lower than that of the fourth semiconductor region, selectively provided so as to cover an end portion on the first semiconductor region side of the junction interface between the third semiconductor region and fourth semiconductor region, wherein the maximum depth of the fifth semiconductor region is equal to or less than the depth of the third semiconductor region.
