Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an emitter region, a base contact region, a buried region, and a carrier trap region. The emitter region and the base contact region are selectively disposed in the upper surface of the base region while being adjacent to each other. The buried region is disposed in the drift region below the base contact region or the emitter region. The carrier trap region is disposed between the buried region and the base region, and has a carrier lifetime shorter than that of the drift region. The device can improve latch-up breakdown tolerance.
