Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device provided with an IGBT, comprising: a semiconductor substrate having upper and lower surfaces, throughout which bulk donors are distributed; a hydrogen peak including a local maximum arranged 25 μm or more away from the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate in a depth direction, at which a hydrogen chemical concentration shows a local maximum value; an upper tail where the hydrogen chemical concentration decreases in a direction from the local maximum toward the upper surface; and a lower tail where the hydrogen chemical concentration decreases in a direction from the local maximum toward the lower surface more gradually than the upper tail; and a first high concentration region having a donor concentration higher than a bulk donor concentration and including a region extending for 4 μm or more in a direction from the local maximum of the hydrogen peak toward the upper surface.
