Abstract
A semiconductor device in which short circuit capability can be improved while decline in overall current capability is suppressed. In the semiconductor device, a plurality of IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors) arranged in a row in one direction over the main surface of a semiconductor substrate include an IGBT located at an extreme end in the one direction and an IGBT located more centrally than the IGBT located at the extreme end. The current capability of the IGBT located at the extreme end is higher than the current capability of the IGBT located centrally.
