Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a switching element including a parallel connection circuit of a first transistor configured as a field-effect transistor and a second transistor configured as an insulated-gate bipolar transistor; and a driver circuit configured to drive the switching element according to an input control signal. When turning the switching element from a first state to a second state, the driver circuit turns, at different timings, the first transistor from the first state to the second state and the second transistor from the first state to the second state. Of the first and second states, one is an off state and the other is an on state.
