The invention discloses a planar gate IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) chip, which comprises a collector metal electrode, a P+ collector region, an N- drift region, a P- base region, a P+ ohmic contact region, an N+ source region, a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon gate and a gate metal electrode which are arranged successively, and an emitter metal electrode arranged above the P+ ohmic contact region, wherein the polysilicon gate of the planar gate IGBT chip adopts a planar gate structure. The planar gate IGBT chip also comprises a first N-type carrier buried layer and/or a second N-type carrier buried layer. The first N-type carrier buried layer is located below the P- base region. The second N-type carrier buried layer is located below the gate oxide layer and at both sides of the P- base region. The planar gate IGBT chip has the beneficial effects that the compromise relation between conduction pressure drop and turn-off loss of the IGBT is reduced, lower power consumption is realized, and thus the power density, the operating junction temperature and the long-term reliability of the IGBT chip are increased.
