Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having at least three semiconductor layers of alternately different conductivity types between a pair of principal surfaces. A pair of main electrodes are kept in low-resistance contact with the outermost ones of the semiconductor layers. A surface-passivation insulating film is provided on an exposed surface of the semiconductor substrate. A resistive material sheet is provided on the insulating film and connected electrically to semiconductor layers having their potentials substantially equal to the main electrodes.
