Abstract
A semiconductor device is provided in which an emitter region includes a first emitter portion which is in contact with a front surface of a semiconductor substrate, a second emitter portion which is provided below the first emitter portion and has a doping concentration lower than that of the first emitter portion, and a third emitter portion which is provided below the second emitter portion and has a doping concentration higher than that of the second emitter portion, and a gate trench portion includes a dummy conductive portion at an emitter potential, which is provided above the gate conductive portion, in a trench.
Claims23
