A technology is proposed in which the improvement of the capability of a semiconductor device can be realized by satisfying both reduction of leakage currents and suppression of the degradation of the conductive characteristic of the semiconductor device. An electric field relaxation region ERR is formed in an outer edge region on the outside of a mesa structure MS. In addition, an electric charge implantation region EIR formed on a drift layer EPI, a resistance reduction region RR formed on the electric charge implantation region EIR, and a leakage reduction region LR formed at a sidewall portion of the mesa structure MS are formed in the mesa structure MS. In this case, the impurity concentration of the leakage reduction region LR is set larger than the impurity concentration of the electric field relaxation region ERR, and is set smaller than the impurity concentration of the resistance reduction region RR.
