ABSTRACT:
It is an object to compatibly realize a decrease in an on-state voltage and an increase in a current capable of turn-off. An N layer (43) having an impurity concentration higher than that of an N.sup.- layer (42) is formed between the N.sup.- layer (42) and a P base layer (44). In the exposed surface of the P base layer (44) connected to an emitter electrode (51), a P.sup.+ layer (91) having an impurity concentration higher than that of the P base layer (44) is formed. The formation of the N layer (43) allows the carrier distribution in the N.sup.- layer (42) to be close to the carrier distribution of a diode, so that the on-state voltage is decreased while maintaining high the current value capable of turn-off. Furthermore, the P.sup.+ layer (91) allows holes to easily go through form the P base layer (44) to the emitter electrode (51), which increases the current value capable of turn-off.
