  • Publication number: 20240178277
    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate includes a plurality of emitter formation regions separated from each other in a Y direction between a pair of trenches, and a separation region located between the emitter formation regions. A p-type base region is formed in the semiconductor substrate of each of the emitter formation regions and the separation region. An n-type impurity region is formed in the base region of each emitter formation region. The impurity region is also formed in the base region at a position in contact with the pair of trenches in the separation region.

  • Publication number: 20230420550
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a trench emitter electrode located at a boundary between one end of an active cell region and an inactive cell region, a trench gate electrode located at a boundary between the other end of the active cell region and the inactive cell region, an end trench gate electrode connected to one end of the trench gate electrode, and an end trench emitter electrode connected to one end of the trench emitter electrode. A hole barrier region of a first conductivity type is provided under a body region of a second conductivity type between the end trench gate electrode and the end trench emitter electrode in a plan view. A body region in the active cell region and a body region in the inactive cell region are connected to each other by a body region between the end trench gate electrode and the end trench emitter electrode.

  • Publication number: 20220165727
    Abstract: A built-in resistor electrically connecting a trench gate electrode and a gate pad is formed of a conductive film formed on a semiconductor substrate via an insulating film. Here, a film thickness of the insulating film is larger than a film thickness of an insulating film in a trench and is smaller than an insulating film which is a field oxide film.
