Abstract
A small semiconductor device having a diode forward voltage less likely to change due to a gate potential is provided. An anode and an upper IGBT structure (emitter and body) are provided in a range in the substrate exposed at the upper surface. A trench, a gate insulating film, and a gate electrode extend along a border of the anode and the upper IGBT structure. Cathode and collector are provided in a range in the substrate exposed at the lower surface. A drift is provided between an upper structure and a lower structure. A crystal defect region extends across the drift above the cathode and the drift above the collector. When a thickness of the substrate is defined as x [μm] and a width of a portion of the crystal defect region that protrudes above the cathode is defined as y [μm], y≥0.007x2−1.09x+126 is satisfied.
