Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device in which a lifetime control region can be formed within a predetermined range with high positioning accuracy is provided. In a semiconductor device, an IGBT element region and a diode element region may be formed in one semiconductor substrate. The IGBT element region may include a second conductivity type drift layer and a first conductivity type body layer. The diode element region may include a second conductivity type drift layer and a first conductivity type anode layer. A concentration of heavy metal included in the drift layer of the diode element region may be set higher than a concentration of the heavy metal included in the drift layer of the IGBT element region.
