    摘要: A semiconductor device, including: first to fourth semiconductor regions, the fourth semiconductor region containing a first-conductivity-type impurity having a higher concentration than the first semiconductor region; first and second trenches; a gate electrode provided in the first trench; a Schottky electrode formed at an inner wall of the second trench, and in contact with the fourth semiconductor region; and a first electrode embedded in the second trench and in contact with the Schottky electrode. The fourth semiconductor region includes: an SBD portion formed at a sidewall of the second trench and in contact with the Schottky electrode, and an upper JFET portion provided between a sidewall of the first trench and the SBD portion. A junction between surfaces of the Schottky electrode and the SBD portion forms an SBD. A carrier concentration of the SBD portion is lower than the concentration of the first-conductivity-type impurity in the upper JFET portion.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a switching element performing a switching base on an input signal to operate a load, a detection circuit outputting a release signal upon detecting a predetermined state of the switching element, and a driving current control circuit including a latch circuit that latches a detection result obtained from a magnitude of a current flowing through the switching element and to be reset upon receiving the release signal from the detection circuit. The control circuit outputs, based on an output of the latch circuit a first driving current or a second driving current larger than the first driving current. The driving current is used for charging a gate capacitance of the switching element in an operation state of the semiconductor device. The control circuit sets the driving current to the first driving current upon the latch circuit being reset by the release signal.
