Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: an n-conductive type semiconductor substrate having a main side and a rear side, and including an IGBT cell and a diode cell; a p-conductive type layer arranged over a main side surface portion of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate and having an impurity concentration which decreases from the main side toward the rear side; a main side n-conductive type region and a main side p-conductive type region arranged over a surface portion of the p-conductive type layer; a rear side p-conductive type region and a rear side n-conductive type region arranged over a rear side surface portion of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate; a first trench which reaches the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate and penetrates the main side n-conductive type region and the p-conductive type layer; a first electrode layer embedded in the first trench through an insulating film, and providing a gate electrode of the IGBT cell; a second electrode layer arranged over the main side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate, electrically coupled with the main side n-conductive type region and the p-conductive type layer, and providing both an emitter electrode of the IGBT cell and an anode electrode of the diode cell; a third electrode layer arranged over the rear side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate, electrically coupled with the rear side p-conductive type region and the rear side n-conductive type region, and providing both a collector electrode of the IGBT cell and a cathode electrode of the diode cell; an exposed surface which is exposed at the main side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate and an unexposed surface which is not exposed at the main side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate in the main side p-conductive type region; and a second trench which reaches an inside of the p-conductive type layer and penetrates the main side p-conductive type region, wherein the second electrode layer is embedded in the second trench and the second electrode layer is electrically coupled with the unexposed surface of the main side p-conductive type region at a sidewall of the second trench, wherein the second electrode layer is electrically coupled with the exposed surface of the main side p-conductive type region at the main side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate, wherein the rear side p-conductive type region and the rear side n-conductive type region directly contact the rear side of the n-conductive type semiconductor substrate, wherein the rear side p-conductive type region provides a collector of the IGBT cell, wherein the rear side n-conductive type region provides a cathode of the diode cell, wherein each of the main side n-conductive type region and the main side p-conductive type region has an impurity concentration higher than the impurity concentration of the p-conductive type layer, wherein an impurity concentration of the main side p-conductive type region decreases from the main side toward the rear side, wherein the impurity concentration in the main side p-conductive type region and the p-conductive type layer decreases from the main side toward the rear side, wherein the main side p-conductive type region includes a first main side p-conductive type region and a second main side p-conductive type region,
