ABSTRACT:
To provide a semiconductor device that exhibits a high breakdown voltage, excellent thermal properties, a high latch-up withstanding capability and low on-resistance. The semiconductor device according to the invention, which includes a buried insulator region5disposed between an n−-type drift layer3and a first n-type region7above n−-type drift layer3, facilitates limiting the emitter hole current, preventing latch-up from occurring, raising neither on-resistance nor on-voltage. The semiconductor device according to the invention, which includes a p-type region4disposed between the buried insulator region5and n−-type drift layer3, facilitates depleting n−-type drift layer3in the OFF-state of the device. The semiconductor device according to the invention, which includes a second n-type region6disposed between the first n-type region7and the n−-type drift layer3, facilitates dissipating the heat caused in the channel region or in the first n-type region7to a p+-type collector layer1a, which is a semiconductor substrate, via the second n-type region6, n−-type drift layer3and an n-type buffer layer2.
