Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device which includes a semiconductor substrate including a transistor portion and a diode portion. The transistor portion includes an injection suppression region that suppresses injection of a carrier of a second conductivity type at an end portion on the diode portion side in a top view of the semiconductor substrate. The diode portion includes a lifetime control region including a lifetime killer. Both the transistor portion and the diode portion include a base region of a second conductivity type on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, the transistor portion further includes an emitter region of a first conductivity type and an extraction region of a second conductivity type having a higher doping concentration than the base region on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the injection suppression region is not provided with the emitter region and the extraction region.
