Semiconductor device

Abstract

A semiconductor device, including a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, having a main surface with a diode trench formed therein, an inner wall insulating film, including a side wall insulating film, formed along side walls of the diode trench, and a bottom wall insulating film, formed along a bottom wall of the diode trench and having a thickness greater than a thickness of the side wall insulating film, and a bidirectional Zener diode, formed on the bottom wall insulating film inside the diode trench and having a pair of first conductivity type portions and at least one second conductivity type portion formed between the pair of first conductivity type portions.
