Abstract
A semiconductor device in accordance with present invention includes a first conduction type first semiconductor layer; a second conduction type second semiconductor layer which is formed on the first semiconductor layer and has a substantially uniform impurity concentration; a plurality of first conduction type base layers formed in the surface of the second semiconductor layer; a plurality of second conduction type emitter layers formed in the surfaces of the respective base layers; channel regions formed in the surfaces of the respective base layers and between the emitter layers and the second semiconductor layer; a first conduction type auxiliary base layer formed in the surface of the second semiconductor layer between two base layers adjacent to each other; a gate electrode formed via a gate insulating film on the second semiconductor layer between the auxiliary base layer and the two base layers and on the channel regions; an emitter electrode connected to the base layers and the emitter layers; and a collector electrode connected to the first semiconductor layer.
