Claim:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type that has been formed above the first semiconductor region, a third semiconductor region of the first conductivity type that has been formed on the second semiconductor region, two or more trenches, each of these is formed from a surface of the third semiconductor region to a depth penetrating through the third semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region, a control electrode that has been formed in each of the trenches, a fourth semiconductor region of the second conductivity type that is in contact with the second semiconductor region between the trenches that are adjacent to each other, and is formed deeper than the trenches, being separated from the trenches, a source electrode that is electrically connected to the second semiconductor region and the third semiconductor region, a drain electrode that is electrically connected to the first semiconductor region, and a fifth semiconductor region of the first conductivity type that is between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region, being formed between the trenches and the fourth semiconductor region, and being provided with a carrier concentration higher than that of the first semiconductor region, wherein a bottom part of the fourth semiconductor region has a protrusion part that is protruded towards the trenches in a horizontal direction.
