ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes: a first insulating layer; a semiconductor layer provided on the first insulating layer; a first semiconductor region selectively provided in the semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor region selectively provided in the semiconductor layer and spaced from the first semiconductor region; a first main electrode provided in contact with the first semiconductor region; a second main electrode provided in contact with the second semiconductor region; a second insulating layer provided on the semiconductor layer; a first conductive material provided in the second insulating layer above a portion of the semiconductor layer located between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region; and a second conductive material provided in a trench provided in a portion of the semiconductor layer opposed to the first conductive material, being in contact with the first conductive material, and reaching the first insulating layer.
