Abstract
An IGBT includes an n-type drift layer, a p-type base layer and an n-type emitter layer formed on an upper surface of the n-type drift layer, and a p-type collector layer on a lower surface of the n-type drift layer. A FWD includes the n-type drift layer, a p-type anode layer formed on the upper surface of the n-type drift layer and an n-type cathode layer formed on the lower surface of the n-type drift layer. A p-type well is formed on the upper surface of the n-type drift layer in a wiring region and a termination region. A wiring is formed on the p-type well in the wiring region. The p-type well has a higher impurity concentration and is deeper than the p-type anode layer. The p-type well is not formed directly above the n-type cathode layer and is separate from a region directly above the n-type cathode layer.
