Abstract

The invention provides an inexpensive flywheel diode having a low power loss. A semiconductor substrate side of a gate electrode provided on a surface of an anode electrode side of a semiconductor substrate including silicon is surrounded by a p layer, an n layer, and a p layer via a gate insulating film. The anode electrode is in contact with the p layer with a low resistance, and is also in contact with the n layer or the p layer, and a Schottky diode is formed between the anode electrode and the n layer or the p layer.
