A semiconductor device includes a plurality of defect layers separated from one another in the semiconductor layer. A distance separating any adjacent ones of the defect layers is kept such that they are prevented from contacting each other and those regions having effect of shortening a carrier lifetime overlap each other.

A mixture of at least two types of charged particles of ions having the same value obtained by dividing the electric charge of an ion by the mass of the ion, i.e., a mixture of charged particles including hydrogen molecular ions H.sub.2.sup.+ and deuterium ions D.sup.+, is accelerated in a charged particle accelerator. Since the mass spectrograph unit in the accelerator cannot divide the hydrogen molecular ions H.sub.2.sup.+ and the deuterium ion D.sup.+, both ions are accelerated together. When the hydrogen molecular ion H.sub.2.sup.+ collides against a silicon substrate, it is divided into two hydrogen ions 2H.sup.+. Since the hydrogen ion H.sup.+ and the deuterium ion D.sup.+ have different ranges in silicon, two regions including a great number of crystal defects are formed in the silicon substrate in one ion irradiating step. As a result, at least three regions of different lifetimes of carriers are formed at different depths of the semiconductor substrate.

The gate insulation film is thicker on the bottom of the trench and on part of the side walls of the trench continuous to the bottom than on the other parts.

The diffusion area comprises first and second impurity diffusion areas of the first and second conductive types, respectively. The diffusion area has a first and second areas which are defined by an impurity concentration of the first and second impurity diffusion areas.

摘要:
The main characteristic feature of the invention is to prevent a leakage current from flowing when a planar type semiconductor device having a high breakdown voltage is reverse-biased. For example, a semiconductive film is formed on the surface of an n-type Si substrate between a second p-type base layer selectively formed on the surface of the Si substrate and a channel stop layer formed to surround the second p-type base layer at a predetermined interval. The dangling bond density of the semiconductive film is set at 1.25.times.1018 cm.sup.-3. With this structure, the discrete level in the band gap approach a continuum, and the time required to populate the trapping level in the semiconductive film with carriers is shortened.

摘要:
In a photothyristor, a main thyristor consisting of a P emitter layer, an N base layer, a P gate base layer and an N emitter layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. Also a pilot thyristor surrounded with the main thyristor and consisting of a P emitter layer, an N base layer, a P gate base layer and an N emitter layer is formed. In the P gate base layer, a trigger light irradiation surface including the inner surface of a recess is formed on the center of the pilot thyristor. In the N base layer, a crystal defect layer is formed under the trigger light irradiation surface by the irradiation with a radiant ray. A breakdown voltage to protect the thyristor from overvoltage is controlled by the crystal defect layer.
