Abstract:
1. A vertical-type semiconductor device, comprising: a repetitive-pattern layer on which second partial regions each having a second type of conduction and a hexagonal cross section are created by arranging the second partial regions repetitively in three directions separated from each other by an angle of 60 degrees over a face parallel to a principal face of the vertical-type semiconductor device and filling gaps among the second partial regions with a region having a first type of conduction; a body layer in contact with the repetitive-pattern layer; and a group of trench gate electrodes penetrating the body layer to reach the repetitive-pattern layer, wherein: the trench gate electrodes extend over a long distance upon the face parallel to the principal face and are arranged repetitively in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the trench gate electrodes; and the longitudinal direction of the trench gate electrodes is set in a range of angles from 4 degrees to 16 degrees relative to a side of the hexagonal cross section of each of the second partial regions.
