Abstract

The present teachings provide a semiconductor device comprising: an IGBT element region, a diode element region and a boundary region provided between the IGBT element region and the diode element region are formed in one semiconductor substrate. The boundary region comprises a second conductivity type first diffusion region, a first conductivity type second diffusion region, and a second conductivity type third diffusion region. A first drift region of the IGBT element region contiguously contacts the first diffusion region of the boundary region, and a second drift region of the diode element region contiguously contacts the first diffusion region of the boundary region. A first body region of the IGBT element region contiguously contacts the second diffusion region of the boundary region, and a second body region of the diode element region contiguously contacts the second diffusion region of the boundary region.
