Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, if the IE effect is promoted by this method, the carrier concentration on the emitter side increases
As a result, there is a possibility that carriers are not rapidly discharged to the emitter side at the time of turn-off, and switching loss at the time of turn-off may increase.

[0078] Figure 4 It is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the semiconductor device of the second embodiment.

[0079] In the semiconductor device 102 , the length L24 of the p-type semiconductor region 24 is longer than the length L22 of the p-type base region 22 in the Y-axis direction. For example, the length of the A region is 1 μm or more and 6 μm or less. The length of the B region is 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

Description

[0001] Citations to Related Applications [0002] The present application is based on, and seeks to benefit from, the rights of Priority Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-052666 for which it applied on March 16, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The embodiments described herein generally relate to semiconductor devices. Background technique [0004] One of the semiconductor devices for electric power includes an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) having a trench gate structure. In the case where an IGBT is used as a switching element, it is expected that its on-resistance is low and switching is fast. In the IGBT, when the pitch of the trench gates is shortened, the resistance component of the semiconductor region between the trench gates increases, and the so-called IE effect (IE: Injection Enhanced) is promoted. As a result, the on-state voltage thereof is reduced. The IE effect is also promoted by...
