A power semiconductor device that can reduce the mounting area thereof will be provided. A first metal plate is connected to a first power terminal of a power chip. A second metal plate facing the first metal plate is connected to a second power terminal of the power chip. An insulating cover coats the power chip from outside of the first and second metal plates. An exterior signal terminal connected to the signal terminal of the power chip is derived from an upper surface of the insulating cover. The first and second metal plate respectively includes first and second exterior electric power terminals derived from a lower surface of the insulating cover. The first and second exterior electric power terminals are bent to opposite directions. In a bending direction of the first exterior electric power terminal or the second exterior electric power terminal, the second exterior electric power terminal is not present on opposite side of the first exterior electric power terminal across the insulating cover, and the first exterior electric power terminal is not present on opposite side of the second exterior electric power terminal across the insulating cover.

An IGBT comprises trenches arranged in strips, first emitter diffusion layers formed so as to extend in a direction intersecting the trenches, and contact regions formed to have a rectangular shape. The portions of the contact regions on the first emitter diffusion layers have a smaller width than the other portions, the width extending in the direction intersecting the trenches. This configuration allows for an increase in the emitter ballast resistance of the emitter diffusion layers, resulting in enhanced resistance to electrical breakdown due to short circuit.

摘要:
In an IGBT with a current sensing function having a plurality of principal current cells and at least one current sensing cell, a P-type base region of the current sensing cell in a current sensing cell region is formed larger than a P-type base region of the principal current cell in a principal current cell region. The IGBT is so constituted that the influence of temperature characteristic of parasitic resistor between the principal current cells and current sensing cell upon detected current can be eliminated and the same interval between the P-type base regions can be set for all the cells.

In a power semiconductor device such as an IGBT, a fifth region of n conductivity type is provided. The fifth region is formed in a portion of a second region (drain region) contacting an insulating layer below the gate layer. The fifth region contacts a third region (base region) and has an impurity concentration higher than that of the second region. Therefore, even when a carrier life time is sufficiently short, an electron distribution density can be kept high in the entire fifth region and the second region under the third region (base region) near the fifth region, and the localization of a hole current is moderated (in a case of a p-type base and an n-type drain). As a result, a maximum controllable current is increased, and a wide safe operation area can be obtained.
