A reverse conducting semiconductor device having an IGBT element region and a diode element region in one semiconductor substrate is provided. An electric current detection region is arranged adjacent to the IGBT element region, and a collector region of the IGBT element region is extended to connect with a collector region of the electric current detection region. Instability in the IGBT detection current caused by a boundary portion between the IGBT and the diode can be suppressed. In the same way, an electric current detection region is arranged adjacent to the diode element region, and a cathode region of the diode element region is extended to connect with a cathode region of the electric current detection region. Instability in the diode detection current caused by the boundary portion between the IGBT and the diode can be suppressed.
