Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a MOSFET including a PN junction diode. A unipolar device is connected in parallel to the MOSFET and has two terminals. A first wire connects the PN junction diode to one of the two terminals of the unipolar device. A second wire connects the one of the two terminals of the unipolar device to an output line, so that the output line is connected to the MOSFET and the unipolar device via the first wire and the second wire. In one embodiment the connection of the first wire to the diode is with its anode, and in another the connection is with the cathode.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n an insulating substrate; a first conductive wiring made of copper and provided on the insulating substrate; a second conductive wiring made of copper and provided on the insulating substrate and electrically separated from the first conductive wiring; a third conductive wiring made of copper and provided on the insulating substrate and electrically separated from the first and second conductive wirings, the second and third conductive wirings being arranged on the insulating substrate with the first conductive wiring interposed therebetween; an MOSFET made of a semiconducting material that chiefly includes SiC, the MOSFET including a PN junction diode having a cathode connected to the first conductive wiring; a diode having an operating voltage lower than an operating voltage of the PN junction diode, the diode having a cathode connected to the first conductive wiring; a first bonding wire, made of aluminum, that connects an anode of the PN j unction diode to the second conductive wiring; a second bonding wire, made of aluminum, that connects an anode of the diode to the second conductive wiring, the second bonding wire having an inductance that is smaller than an inductance of the first bonding wire; and a third bonding wire, made of aluminum, that connects a gate of the MOSFET to the third conductive wiring.
