Abstract
By integrating a diode and a resistor connected in parallel into the same chip as an IGBT and connecting a cathode of the diode to a gate of the IGBT, the value of dv/dt can be limited to a predetermined range inside the chip of the IGBT without a deterioration in turn-on characteristics. Since the chip includes a resistor having such a resistance that a dv/dt breakdown of the IGBT can be prevented, the IGBT can be prevented from being broken by an increase in dv/dt at a site (user site) to which the chip is supplied.
