Patent number: 8178365Abstract: A semiconductor wafer having IGBT elements and transistors formed on a surface thereof is prepared. Electron beams are emitted all over the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Recombination centers are formed in the IGBT elements and the transistors. ON voltages of the transistors are measured by a measurement device, and lifetimes defined in the IGBT elements and the transistors are recovered by a prescribed annealing treatment. When the lifetimes are recovered, a control device controls an annealing treatment amount in the annealing treatment based on the measured ON voltages of the transistors such that ON voltages of the IGBT elements are each equal to a desired ON voltage. Variations in the ON voltages of a plurality of IGBT elements obtained from the semiconductor wafer are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Atsushi Narazaki, Yukio Matsushita, Masashi Osaka, Shunsuke Sakamoto
