Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor apparatus, wherein a doping concentration distribution in the buffer region has a deepest slope where a doping concentration monotonically decreases to a position where it comes in contact with the drift region in a direction from the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate toward an upper surface, a hydrogen chemical concentration distribution in the buffer region includes in a first depth range provided with the slope: a first decrease portion where a hydrogen chemical concentration decreases toward the upper surface side; a second decrease portion located closer to the upper surface side than the first decrease portion is and where the chemical concentration decreases; and an intermediate portion arranged between the first and second decrease portions, and the intermediate portion has: a flat portion where the distribution is uniform; a peak in a slope of the chemical concentration; or a kink portion of the chemical concentration.
