Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer of a first conductor type; a first semiconductor layer of a second conductor type, on the front of the semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer of the second conductor type, on the first semiconductor layer and having a higher impurity concentration than the first semiconductor layer; a third semiconductor layer of the second conductor type, on the second semiconductor layer and having a lower impurity concentration than the second semiconductor layer; a first semiconductor region of the first conductor type, in a surface layer of the third semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor region of the second conductor type, in a surface layer of the first semiconductor region; an input electrode contacting the second semiconductor region; a control electrode disposed above part of the first semiconductor region with an insulating film therebetween; and an output electrode disposed on the back of the semiconductor layer.
