Semiconductor apparatus

Abstract

There is provided a semiconductor apparatus comprising: a first switching element formed of a wide band gap semiconductor; and a second switching element formed of another wide band gap semiconductor and connected in parallel with the first switching element; wherein the first switching element and the second switching element respectively include a control electrode, a first main electrode and a second main electrode, and respectively have an output capacitance characteristic in which an output capacitance decreases as a voltage between the first main electrode and the second main electrode increases, and the output capacitance characteristics of the first switching element and the second switching element or threshold voltages for respectively turning on/off the first switching element and the second switching element are different from each other.
