Title:
POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/007387
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a power semiconductor device that can solve a problem involved in the conventional high-speed switching power semiconductor device that, upon switching, a displacement current flows to generate a high voltage which sometimes causes dielectric breakdown of a thin insulating film such as a gate insulating film.  The power semiconductor device comprises a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate (80), a first conductivity type drift layer (70) provided on a first principal plane of the semiconductor substrate (80), a second conductivity type first well region (50) provided on a part of the surface of the drift layer (70), a second conductivity type second well region (51) that is provided away from the first well region (50) on a part of the surface of the drift layer (70) and has a smaller area than the first well region (50) as viewed from above, a first conductivity type low-resistance region (55) that is provided on the surface of the first well region (50) and has a higher impurity concentration than the first well region (50), a gate insulating film (32) provided in contact with the surface of the first well region (50), and a gate electrode (21) provided in contact with the surface of the gate insulating film (32).
