Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the above-mentioned semiconductor device in which an IGBT and a diode are formed on a single semiconductor substrate, holes, which are minority carriers, flow from the IGBT region to the diode region. Compared with the case where an insulated gate bipolar transistor and a diode are connected in parallel as a separate component, there is a problem that the recovery current during the recovery operation becomes larger, and the breakdown resistance of the diode decreases.

Embodiment approach 1

[0082] The semiconductor device according to Embodiment 1 suppresses the flow of holes h from the IGBT region 1 to the diode region 2 . Such as Figure 11 As shown, when the diode operates, holes h are injected from the p-type base layer 9 and the base contact layer 16 into the drift layer 12 of the diode region 2 . On the other hand, holes h are not injected from the n-type counter-doped layer 10 into the drift layer 12 of the diode region 2 . Therefore, by providing the anti-doped layer 10, compared with the case where the anti-doped layer 10 is not provided, the injection of holes h from the IGBT region 1 to the diode region 2 during diode operation can be suppressed. .

[0083] Therefore, by selectively providing the counter-doped layer 10 on the surface layer of the base layer 9 , the recovery current can be suppressed and the breakdown resistance at the time of the recovery operation can be improved. In addition, the concentration of the acceptor impurity in the surfa...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor devices. Background technique [0002] From the viewpoint of energy saving, inverter devices are widely used in fields such as home appliances, electric vehicles, and railways. Inverter devices mostly use insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT: [0003] Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) and freewheeling diodes. The insulated gate bipolar transistor and the diode are connected by wiring such as wires inside the inverter device. [0004] In order to downsize an inverter device, a semiconductor device in which an insulated gate bipolar transistor and a diode are formed on a single semiconductor substrate has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-103590 [0006] However, in the above-mentioned semiconductor device in which an IGBT and a diode are formed on a single semiconductor substrate, holes, which are minority carriers, flow f...
