摘要:
In the IGBT having at least a p+n-pn+ structure from the collector to the emitter, the n layer with higher density than the n- layer is formed between the n- layer and the p layer. The n layer is a barrier for holes, and as the holes are stored in the n- layer, ON voltage is reduced.

In a semiconductor device a first diode having a pn junction and a second diode having a combination of a Schottky barrier and a pn junction in a current-passing direction are provided side by side in a direction perpendicular to the current-passing direction. When a forward current with a current density J F is passed into the second diodes, the relation is established in a forward voltage V F range of 0.1 (V) to 0.3 (V). The first diode is constituted by first and second semiconductor regions (13, 15) forming a pn junction therebetween, the second being in ohmic contact with one main electrode (3), and having an impurity concentration higher than that of the first semiconductor region (13). The second diode is constituted by first and third semiconductor regions (13, 16) forming a pn junction therebetween, the third being in contact through a Schottky barrier with the one main electrode (3) and having an impurity concentration higher than the first semiconductor region (13).

According to the invention different detection levels of a load current can be detected. Preferably, these detection levels are an overcurrent control level and/or a constant current control level. Said constant current control level can be a constant current value associated with chopper control or a value which judges an overload when a chopper control current exceeds a predetermined current level beyond a predetermined number of times. Said overcurrent control level can be a value corresponding to short-circuit-protection. Further, according to the invention a control circuit can control power semiconductor devices by decreasing a control voltage in a plurality of steps to zero in the case where an overcurrent detecting circuit outputs a detection signal corresponding to an overcurrent control level. According to a further aspect of the invention a power converter with a plurality of semiconductor devices is improved by control means and current detection circuits showing the above mentioned advantages of the invention.
