Abstract

A semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate in which a diode region and an IGBT region are formed is provided. The diode region includes a first layer embedded in a diode trench reaching a diode drift layer from an upper surface side of the semiconductor substrate, and a second layer which is buried in the first layer and which has a lower end located deeper than a boundary between a diode body layer and the diode drift layer. The second layer pressures the first layer in a direction from inside to outside of the diode trench. A lifetime control region is formed in the diode drift layer at least at the depth of the lower end of the second layer, and a crystal defect density inside the lifetime control region is higher than a crystal defect density outside the lifetime control region.
