ABSTRACT:
The dense accumulation of hole carriers can be obtained over a wide range of a semiconductor region in a floating state formed within a body region of an IGBT. An n type semiconductor region (52) whose potential is floating is formed within a p−type body region (28). The n type semiconductor region (52) is isolated from an n+type emitter region (32) and an n−type drift region (26) by the body region (28). Furthermore, a second electrode (62) is formed, so as to oppose to at least a part of the semiconductor region (52) via an insulator film (64). The second electrode (62) does not oppose to the emitter region (32).
