A thyristor with an insulated gate includes a p-type emitter layer, an n-type base layer, a p-type base layer, and an n-type emitter layer. A drain electrode contacting the p-type base layer is formed adjacent to one side of the n-type emitter layer. An n-type drain layer, which is short-circuited with the p-type base layer by the drain electrode, is formed. An n-type source layer is formed a predetermined distance away from the n-type drain layer. A turn-off insulated gate is formed between the n-type source layer and the n-type drain layer. A source electrode is connected to a cathode electrode. Thereby, turn-off capability of the thyristor can be improved.

A thyristor with insulated gates includes turn-off and turn-on MOSFETs. The turn-on MOSFET has a turn-on gate employing a p-type base as a channel and extending over an n-type base and an n-type emitter. The turn-off MOSFET has n-type drain and source layers formed in a p-type base layer, and a turn-off gate extending over the drain and source layers. The n-type drain layer is short-circuited with the p-type base layer via a drain electrode. The drain electrode is formed near an n-type emitter layer. When the thyristor is to be turned off, the first voltage is applied to the turn-on gate, and the second voltage is applied to the turn-off gate while the first voltage is applied to the turn-on gate. After the application of the second voltage continues for a predetermined period of time, the application of the first voltage to the turn-on gate is stopped. With this operation, the thyristor can be turned off even with a large current.

A semiconductor device formed on a substrate of a first conductivity type, including a base layer of a second conductivity disposed on a first face of the substrate, an anode layer with a higher dopant amount in a portion of the base layer, an IGBT region formed on the base layer, a diode region formed on the anode layer, a trench extending from the top of the IGBT and diode regions in to the substrate. The area occupied by the diode region is different from the area occupied by the IGBT region, but they share collector and emitter electrodes. The contact area between the diode anode layer and the emitter electrode may be adjusted by the arrangement of trenches.

A source region of a first conductivity type is formed on a surface region of the high resistance layer. A drain region of the first conductivity type is formed at a distance from the source region.
