A MOS gate is formed between the p + layer 18 and another p + layer 18 with the gate sandwiched therebetween. The MOS gate is composed of the gate electrode 23 and the insulating film 31. N + layer 17 and p + layer 18 are short-circuited by cathode electrode 22, and anode electrode 210 is in low resistance contact with the other main surface.

N channel MOSFET composed of 6, n − layer 12 operates,
Electrons flow from the cathode electrode 22 to the n − layer 12. These electrons are p + layer 11 (p emitter layer), n − layer 12 (n
It becomes the base current of the pnpn structure thyristor composed of the base layer), the p layer 16 (p base), and the n + layer 17 (n emitter layer), and the holes are injected from the p + layer 11 (p emitter layer). As a result of promoting injection of electrons from the n + layer 17 (n emitter layer), the thyristor is ignited and the device 5 is turned off. On the other hand, in order to shift the device 5 to the off state, the gate electrode 23 is set to a negative potential. As a result, the p-channel MOSFET composed of the p + layer 18, the n + layer 17, and the p layer 16 moves, and the p layer 16 becomes the n + layer 1.
7 is a so-called emitter short circuit, and the injection of electrons from the n + emitter layer 17 is eliminated. In addition, due to the short circuit,
The excess carriers accumulated in the p base layer 16 and the n − base layer 12 are drawn to the cathode electrode 22, and the device 5 is turned off.

が、益々製作工程が煩雑化する欠点があつた。However, the semiconductor device 5 has a complicated structure of pnpnp and a five-layer structure, and since the p channel layer is formed in the n + emitter layer 17, the threshold voltage of the MOSFET becomes high, which in turn increases the channel resistance. There was a problem that the turn-off speed was increased because the withdrawal of the carrier was blocked. In order to solve this, a method of reducing the concentration of only the n + layer 17 under the electrode 23 in the gate has been studied, but it has a drawback that the manufacturing process becomes more complicated.

へ引き出され装置2はターンオフする。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. The composite semiconductor device 1 of the present invention has, for example, n − on the p + substrate 11.
A layer 12, a p layer 13, and an n + layer 15 are formed. Further, the p layer 14 is formed independently of the p layer 13, and the n + layer 1
5, a MOS gate is formed on the surface across the p layer 13, the n − layer 12, and the p layer 14. n + layer 15 and p layer 14
4 is short-circuited by the cathode electrode 22. On the other hand, the p + layer 21 is in low resistance contact with the anode electrode 21. In order to turn on this device 1, the gate electrode 2
Apply a positive potential to 3. As a result, the n-channel MOSFET composed of the n − layer 12, the p layer 13, and the n + layer 15 operates, and electrons flow into the n − layer 12. The electrons serve as a base current, and a thyristor having a pnpn structure composed of the p + layer 11, the n − layer 12, the p layer 13, and the n + layer 15 is ignited and turned on. To shift to the off state, the gate electrode 23

The p-channel MOSFET composed of is operated, the n + emitter layer and the p layer 13 are short-circuited, and electrons are not injected from the n + emitter layer 15. Further, the excess carriers accumulated in the p layer 13 and the n − layer are more likely to be absorbed by the cathode electrode 22 than the p layer 14.
Device 2 is turned off.

Since the carrier concentration of 2 can be lowered, the conventional n + layer 17
As a result, the threshold voltage can be made lower than that of the above, and as a result, the channel resistance becomes small and the excess carrier is easily drawn. This turns off at high speed. Furthermore - the accumulated excess carriers in the layer 12 without passing through the p channel, and summer and Sources also be turned off at high speed to draw directly p layer 14. As a result of examination by the present inventors, the speed could be increased to about twice that of the conventional one.

An n layer 120 is provided between the p + layer 11 and the n − layer 12, and an n + layer 15
Between the p layer 13 and the p layer 13 and + in the p layer 14
The point is that layers are provided. By providing the n layer 120,
The depletion layer generated at the junction of the p layer 13 and the n − layer 12 is the p + layer 11
It is possible to prevent the reaching and reaching through and to improve the breakdown voltage. Therefore, if the withstand voltage is the same, by providing the n layer 120, the n − layer can be thinned and the operating resistance can be reduced, so that a large current can be obtained. Further, by providing the p + layers 130 and 140, the parasitic resistance of the p-channel MOSFET is reduced and the speed can be increased. By appropriately controlling the electron injection efficiency from the n + layer 15 by the p + layer 130, the breakdown voltage of the device 2 can be increased to the breakdown voltage determined by the p layer 13, n − layer 12, and n layer 120. A so-called normal-off device can be realized without applying a negative gate voltage.
