A light emitting semiconductor device and a light detecting semiconductor device are coupled optically with each other through a light guide. The light guide is made of a single piece of light transmissible insulating material and at least its end portion associated with the semiconductor light detector is brought into wet contact with a light sensing region of the semiconductor light detector including its neighboring area. While being in fluid state, the light transmissible insulator held in wet contact with the semiconductor light emitter and detector is shaped into a predetermined configuration and thereafter hardened to form the light guide.

In a bipolar semiconductor device such that electrons and holes are recombined in a silicon carbide epitaxial film grown from the surface of a silicon carbide single crystal substrate at the time of on-state forward bias operation; an on-state forward voltage increased in a silicon carbide bipolar semiconductor device is recovered by shrinking the stacking fault area enlarged by on-state forward bias operation. In a method of this invention, the bipolar semiconductor device in which the stacking fault area enlarged and the on-state forward voltage has been increased by on-state forward bias operation, is heated at a temperature of higher than 350° C.

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to eliminate variation in potential in a turn-off time period of each GTO element, and to stabilize a gate drawing current by surely performing the turn-off of the GTO element. In an inverter apparatus having a three-phase inverter configured to include paired GTO elements an inverter control portion has a simultaneous switching prevention function of delaying a turn-on operation of each of the GTO elements which correspond to phases other than a phase corresponding to an optional one of the GTO elements and also correspond to an electrode opposite to an electrode corresponding to the optional one of the GTO elements by a predetermined time in a case where a turn-on command signal for turning on each of the GTO elements is generated within a predetermined time period since the turn-off of the optional one of the GTO elements.

The temperature of a bipolar semiconductor element using a wide-gap semiconductor is raised using heating means, such as a heater, to obtain a power semiconductor device being large in controllable current and low in loss. The temperature is set at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the decrement of the steady loss of the wide-gap bipolar semiconductor element corresponding to the decrement of the built-in voltage lowering depending on the temperature rising of the wide-gap bipolar semiconductor element is larger than the increment of the steady loss corresponding to the increment of the ON resistance increasing depending on the temperature rising.

In a wide gap semiconductor device of SiC or the like used at a temperature of 150 degrees centigrade or higher, the insulation characteristic of a wide gap semiconductor element is improved and a high-voltage resistance is achieved. For these purposes, a synthetic high-molecular compound, with which the outer surface of the wide gap semiconductor element is coated, is formed in a three-dimensional steric structure which is formed by linking together organosilicon polymers C with covalent bonds resulting from addition reaction. The organosilicon polymers C have been formed by linking at least one organosilicon polymers A having a crosslinked structure using siloxane (Si—O—Si combination) with at least one organosilicon polymers B having a linear linked structure using siloxane through siloxane bonds.

摘要:
A semiconductor device includes an emitter region, a collector region provided directly under the emitter region, and a two-region base structure. The first base region is interposed between the emitter and collector regions, and the second base region supports the collector region. The aforementioned regions have a progressively higher impurity concentrations, with the collector region having an impurity concentration higher than that of the first base region, the second base region having an impurity concentration higher than that of the collector region, and the emitter region having an impurity concentration higher than that of the base region. Also included is a resistance region formed, in one embodiment, from a projecting end portion of one of the base layers. The projecting end portion of the base is fabricated so that both base portions contact one another in the resistance region, and consequently both base portions are of the same potential. Electrodes are also provided for ohmicly contacting the emitter, collector, and base regions. The two-region base structure enables the device to achieve a high resistance, and thus to achieve simultaneously a high breakdown voltage and a high frequency (speed) characteristic.
