Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor layer of a first conductive type having first and second surfaces, said semiconductor layer including a base region of a second conductive type formed in the first surface and an emitter region of the first conductive type formed in said base region; a buffer layer of the first conductive type formed on the second surface of said semiconductor layer; a collector layer of the second conductive type formed on said buffer layer; and a first diode layer of the first conductive type on said collector layer, and a second diode layer of the second conductive type on the first diode layer, wherein said buffer layer has a maximal concentration of the first conductive type impurity therein of approximately 5 ×10 wherein said collector layer has a thickness of approximately 1 μm or more.
