Abstract

A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate provided with a plurality of diode ranges and a plurality of IGBT ranges. The IGBT ranges and the diode ranges are alternately arranged along a first direction in plan view of the semiconductor substrate along a thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate. Each diode range is provided with a plurality of n-type cathode regions and a plurality of p-type current-limiting regions in a range of being in contact with a lower electrode. The cathode regions and the current-limiting regions are alternately arranged along a second direction intersecting the first direction in each diode range. Each IGBT range is provided with a p-type collector region in a range of being in contact with the lower electrode. The collector region in each IGBT range is in contact with each cathode region in the adjacent diode range.
