The IGBT cell further includes a first conductivity-type floating layer disposed within the base layer to separate the base layer into a first portion including the emitter region and the first contact region and a second portion adjacent to the drift layer, and an interlayer insulating film disposed to cover an end of the gate electrode. A diode cell includes a second conductivity-type second contact region in the surface portion of the base layer.

There is known a semiconductor device in which an IGBT structure is provided in an IGBT area and a diode structure is provided in a diode area, the IGBT area and the diode area are both located within a same substrate, and the IGBT area is adjacent to the diode area. In this type of semiconductor device, a phenomenon that carriers accumulated within the IGBT area flow into the diode area when the IGBT structure is turned off. In order to prevent this phenomenon, a region of shortening lifetime of carriers is provided at least in a sub-area that is within said IGBT area and adjacent to said diode area. In the sub-area, emitter of IGBT structure is omitted.

Provided is a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate in which a diode region and an IGBT region are formed. A separation region formed of a p-type semiconductor is formed in a range between the diode region and the IGBT region and extending from an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate to a position deeper than both a lower end of an anode region and a lower end of a body region. A diode lifetime control region is formed within a diode drift region. A carrier lifetime in the diode lifetime control region is shorter than that in the diode drift region outside the diode lifetime control region. An end of the diode lifetime control region on an IGBT region side is located right below the separation region.

A MIS-type semiconductor device has reduced ON-resistance by securing an overlapping area between the gate electrode and the drift region, and has low switching losses by reducing the feedback capacitance. The MIS-type semiconductor device includes a p-type base region, an n-type drift region, a p+-type stopper region in the base region, a gate insulation film on the base region, a gate electrode on the gate insulation film, an oxide film on the drift region, a field plate on the oxide film, and a source electrode. The position (P) of the impurity concentration peak in base region is located more closely to the drift region. The oxide film is thinner on the side of the gate electrode. The field plate is connected electrically to the source electrode, the spacing (dg) between the gate insulation film and the stopper region is 2.5 μm or narrower, and the minimum spacing (x) between the drain region and the stopper region is 5.6 μm or narrower. The minimum thickness of the oxide film is equal to or larger than the thickness of the gate insulation film and equal to or smaller than the ratio Vb/Ec of the breakdown voltage Vb to the critical dielectric breakdown strength of silicon Ec. The drift region can be formed of first and second drift regions, with the first drift region being more heavily doped. The gate electrode and the drift region can be buried.

Disclosed is a semiconductor device facilitating a peripheral portion thereof with a breakdown voltage higher than the breakdown voltage in the drain drift layer without employing a guard ring or field plate. A preferred embodiment includes a drain drift region with a first alternating conductivity type layer formed of n drift current path regions and p partition regions arranged alternately with each other, and a breakdown withstanding region with a second alternating conductivity type layer formed of n regions and p regions arranged alternately with each other, the breakdown withstanding region providing no current path in the ON-state of the device and being depleted in the OFF-state of the device. Since depletion layers expand in both directions from multiple pn-junctions into n regions and p regions in the OFF-state of the device, the adjacent areas of p-type base regions, the outer area of the semiconductor chip and the deep area of the semiconductor chip are depleted. Thus, the breakdown voltage of breakdown withstanding region is higher than the breakdown voltage of drain drift region.
