Semiconductor device, method of manufacturing semiconductor device, power conversion device

A semiconductor device comprising:

• a first conductivity type substrate;
• a first conductivity type carrier store layer formed on an upper surface side of the substrate;
• a second conductivity type channel dope layer formed on the carrier store layer;
• a first conductivity type emitter layer formed on the channel dope layer;
• an emitter electrode provided on and electrically connected to the emitter layer;
• a gate electrode in contact with the emitter layer, the channel dope layer, and the carrier store layer via a gate insulating film;
• a conductor layer in contact with the carrier store layer and the substrate via an isolation insulating film;
• a separation insulating film that covers a lower surface of the gate electrode and covers an upper surface of the conductor layer to thereby electrically separate the conductor layer and the gate electrode from each other;
• and
• a second conductivity type collector layer formed on a lower surface side of the substrate, wherein
• the conductor layer is wholly covered by the isolation insulating film and the separation insulating film so that the conductor layer is electrically insulated from the emitter electrode and the gate electrode,
• a lower end of the conductor layer contacts the substrate via the isolation insulating film, and
• the conductor layer extends from the carrier store layer into the substrate.
