Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device in which a first anode layer and a first contact layer are provided on a first main surface side in a diode region, and in which a second anode layer and a second contact layer are provided on the first main surface side in a boundary region. A concentration of impurities of a second conductive type of the second anode layer is lower than a concentration of impurities of the second conductive type of the first anode layer, or an occupied area ratio of the second contact layer with respect to the area where the emitter electrode is in contact with the semiconductor substrate in the boundary region is smaller than an occupied area ratio of the first contact layer with respect to the area where the emitter electrode is in contact with the semiconductor substrate in the diode region.
