Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate includes a hydrogen containing region including hydrogen, and the hydrogen containing region includes a high concentration region with a higher carrier concentration than a virtual carrier concentration determined based on a concentration of hydrogen included and an activation ratio of hydrogen. The semiconductor substrate includes an N type drift region, an N type emitter region that has a higher carrier concentration than that in the drift region, a P type base region, a P type collector region provided to be in contact with a lower surface of the semiconductor substrate, and an N type buffer region that is provided between the collector region and the drift region, and has a higher carrier concentration than that in the drift region, and the hydrogen containing region is included in the buffer region.
