Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an IGBT region in which an IGBT element is formed and an FWD region in which an FWD element is formed. The IGBT region includes a first region and a second region different from the first region. The FWD region and the first region of the IGBT region have a carrier extraction portion that facilitates extraction of carriers injected from a second electrode compared to the second region when a forward bias for causing the FWD element to operate as a diode is applied between a first electrode and the second electrode.
