Abstract:
1. A high withstand voltage transistor, comprising: a gate electrode in a trench formed on a first conductive semiconductor substrate; a source and a drain, the source on one side of the gate electrode, and the drain on another side of the gate electrode, the source and the drain being apart from the gate electrode; first electric field relaxation layers, one of the first electric field relaxation layers on a wall of the trench on the side of the source and another one of the first electric field relaxation layers on a wall of the trench on the side of the drain; second electric field relaxation layers, one of the second electric field relaxation layers between the source and the gate electrode, extended so as to surround the source, and another one of the second electric field relaxation layers between the drain and the gate electrode, extended so as to surround the drain, wherein junction withstand voltages of the source and drain are 1 to 3V lower than a withstand voltage of the transistor, and a substrate impurity concentration in a portion below a bottom surface of the trench is higher than a substrate impurity concentration in the substrate at the bottom surface of the trench.
