- an n-type current prevention layer 110 is provided along the mesa upper end peripheral portion 111, the mesa wall portion 108, and the mesa lower end peripheral portion 109.
- the n-type impurity concentration is higher than the p-type impurity concentration.
- the thickness of the n-type current prevention layer 110 is not less than 1 nm and less than 2 ⁇ m, and can be, for example, 100 nm.
- the n-type current blocking layer 110 can be formed by counter doping with n-type impurities.
- FIG. 10 shows an application example of the silicon carbide semiconductor device shown in the first to fourth embodiments.
- the power conversion device of this embodiment can be used for, for example, a railway vehicle.
- FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of a three-phase motor system applied to a railway vehicle. Electric power is supplied to the railway vehicle from the overhead line RT via the panda graph PG.
- the high-voltage AC voltage of the overhead line RT is, for example, 25 kV or 15 kV.
- This high-voltage AC voltage is stepped down to an AC voltage of, for example, 3.3 kV by the insulated main transformer MTR.
- the stepped-down AC voltage is forward converted to a DC voltage of 3.3 kV by the converter AC / DC.
- the DC voltage is converted into an AC voltage by the inverter DC / AC via the capacitor CL, and a desired three-phase AC voltage is output to the three-phase motor M3, thereby driving the three-phase motor M3.
- Reference sign WHL indicates a wheel.
- the n-type SiC-PND 100 of Examples 1 to 4 can be applied to the free-wheeling diode FRD connected in parallel to the IGBT of the converter AC / DC constituting the three-phase motor system of the railway vehicle in FIG.
- the leakage current is reduced, so that it is possible to provide a highly efficient power converter with low loss.
- the floor of the railway vehicle can be reduced by downsizing the underfloor parts including the three-phase motor system.
- a storage battery SB can be newly installed in a part of the railway vehicle. Therefore, when the vehicle is decelerated, power is transferred to the overhead line RT via the wheels WHL. In addition to returning, it is also possible to store power in the storage battery SB. As a result, the regeneration efficiency of the railway vehicle can be improved. In other words, the life cycle cost of the railway system can be reduced.

Abstract
Le but de la présente invention est d'assurer d'excellents effets de prévention de détérioration de la conduction dans un élément bipolaire au carbure de silicium ayant une structure mésa. La présente invention résout le problème susmentionné par formation : d'une première zone dans laquelle la concentration d'une impureté du type p est supérieure à celle d'une impureté du type n, ladite première zone étant formée à l'intérieur d'une structure mésa ; et d'une seconde zone dans laquelle la concentration de l'impureté du type n est supérieure à celle de l'impureté du type p, ladite seconde zone étant située le long des surfaces latérales de la structure mésa.
