However, with this method, the number of elements must be increased in order to increase the capacitance, but as the number of elements increases, the wiring of the conductive wires to be bonded becomes complicated, and the wiring inside the container becomes difficult. Wire breaks are more likely to occur. Furthermore, thin conductor wires are more likely to break due to heat when a large current is passed through them.

In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to integrate a large number of unit elements on one semiconductor substrate. If a pressure contact structure is adopted in which a common electrode body is pressed into contact with the main electrode of each element, not only will the reliability of the connection be improved, but the inductance and resistance of the connecting conductor will be reduced, and the board will be cooled from both sides. This makes it possible to increase cooling efficiency. As a result, this leads to improved characteristics and reliability as a semiconductor device.

An emitter electrode 7 insulated from the gate electrode 6 is connected to the p region 3 and the n+ Commonly touching area 4. Further, a collector electrode 8 is in contact with the p + collector layer 2 . This structure is that of a known IGBT, but in this embodiment, a protrusion 10 is formed on the surface of the n- layer 1 and there is a step. The step difference is approximately 20 μm. This step is formed by, for example, SiO
This can be obtained by forming a mask with a 2 film and etching it with an HF/HNO3-based etching solution. The emitter electrode 7 is formed by patterning a layer of conductive metal such as Al, so that it also extends over the protrusion 10 . The top and side surfaces of the emitter electrode 7 and the protrusion 10 are made of SiO
2 Insulated by film 11. Then, by applying pressure to the electrode plate 9 and the collector electrode 8 from above and below, the electrode plate 9 can be brought into pressure contact with the emitter electrode 8 extending above the protrusion 10 . Since there is a distance between the lower surface of the electrode plate 9 and the emitter electrode 8 above the p region 3 and n+ region 4 due to the step of the n- layer 1, the pressure of the electrode plate 9 does not affect the emitter electrode 8.
