Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate having a drift layer; a base layer on the drift layer; a collector layer and a cathode layer arranged on the drift layer opposite to the base layer; multiple trenches penetrating the base layer and reaching the drift layer, and arranged along one direction; a gate electrode arranged in each trench via a gate insulating film; and an emitter region arranged in a surface portion of the base layer, and contacting with each trench. The semiconductor substrate includes an IGBT region having the emitter region and an FWD region in which an injection limiting region and a contact region are arranged in the surface portion of the base layer alternately along the one direction.
