- the second electrode is set so that the distance to the gate insulating film 44, which is close to any position force of the floating semiconductor region 52 (not shown), or the distance of the second electrode 62 to the insulating film 64 is smaller than a predetermined value.
- the shape and positional relationship of 62 have been adjusted.

- This embodiment is also preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing. Since the distance in the depth direction between the second electrode 63 and the trench gate electrode 42 is equal, both can be formed using the same manufacturing process. For example, if a trench having a surface anisotropy of the semiconductor substrate is formed by reactive ion etching, the second electrode 63 and the trench gate electrode 42 can be formed simultaneously. The second electrode 63 and the trench gate electrode 42 can be formed without increasing the number of processes by appropriately adjusting the mask used for the trench width, the interval between the trenches, and the like.

- the second electrode 66 In order to apply a voltage to the second electrode 66, it is preferable that at least a part of the second electrode 66 is formed to extend to the surface of the semiconductor substrate. This situation is schematically shown using the perspective view of the main part in FIG. The front surface in FIG. 6 corresponds to the cross section in FIG. The upper part on the right side of FIG. 6 is cut away.

- An extended second electrode 66 is formed.
- the second electrode 66 is electrically connected to the trench gate electrode 42 at a location where the second electrode 66 is exposed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate (67 in the drawing). Therefore, a voltage common to the trench gate electrode 42 can be applied to the second electrode 66. From this, the second electrode 66 is turned on following the on of the IGBT, so that the on-voltage can be reduced.
- FIG. 7 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of a main part of an IGBT 14 according to another modification of the second embodiment.

- the high concentration portion 52a is located between the emitter region 32 and the drift region 26.
- Low concentration portion 52b is located between body contact region 34 and drift region 26.
- the accumulated holes The carrier can be quickly discharged using the low concentration portion 52b. Further, since the low-concentration portion 52b and the body contact region 34 are vertically aligned, the hole carriers discharged using the low-concentration portion 52b do not flow into the emitter region 32, and the body contact does not flow. It is quickly discharged to the emitter electrode E via the area 34. Therefore, the turn-off characteristics of the IGBT 14 can be improved while suppressing the occurrence of the latch-up phenomenon. Even if the low-concentration portion 52b is provided, a low on-state voltage can be obtained due to the hole carrier accumulation effect of the second electrode 63.

- the pitch width of the trench gate electrode 42 can be adjusted. Even if the pitch width of the trench gate electrode 42 is adjusted to be narrow, the area of the emitter region 33 can be maintained at a predetermined amount. Therefore, by adjusting the pitch width of the torch gate electrode 42 to be narrow without increasing the area of the emitter region 33, the hole carrier generated by the semiconductor region 52 can be reduced while suppressing the supply amount of the electron carrier supplied from the emitter region 33. Storage capacity can be improved.

That is, the area of the emitter region 33 is preferably adjusted to 50% or less of the area of the semiconductor region 52. More preferably, it is in the range of 10 to 30%. In this case, destruction based on the saturation current value is prevented, and an IGBT with an extremely low on-voltage can be obtained.

- the emitter region 37 is formed in contact with the gate insulating film 44 of the opposing trench gate electrode 42.
- the emitter regions 38 are provided on the side surfaces of the left and right gate insulating films 44 so as to be spaced apart from each other. A part is opposed in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the trench gate electrode 42 extends, and a part is opposed in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the trench gate electrode 42 is extended.
- an emitter region 39 in contact with one gate insulating film 44 and an emitter region 39 in contact with the other gate insulating film 44 are continuous.
- the set is repeatedly formed in the direction in which the trench gate electrode 42 extends.
- FIG. 15 schematically shows a perspective view of a main part of the IGBT 18 of the fourth embodiment.
- the pitch width of the stripe-shaped trench gate electrode is different. was narrowed.
- this structure there is a concern that the capacitance between the gate and the collector will increase due to the increase in the amount of the gate insulating film, which may affect switching characteristics.
- IGBT18 proposes a structure that takes measures against this point.
- the IGBT 18 is formed by a complicated pattern in which the trench gate electrode 46 does not have a stripe shape.
- individual trench gate electrodes 46 are formed in a loop, and they are formed scattered on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
- the distance L4 between the opposing gate insulating films 48 inside the looped trench gate electrode 46 and the distance between the gate insulating film 48 of one trench gate electrode 46 and the gate insulating film 48 of the other trench gate electrode 46 are determined.
- the shape and positional relationship of the trench gate electrode 46 are adjusted so that the distances L5 and L6 between them are substantially equal.
- the shape and positional relationship of the trench gate electrode 46 are adjusted so that the distance to the gate insulating film 48, which is also close to any position force of the floating semiconductor region 52, is smaller than a predetermined value.
- the predetermined value is a distance within a range in which the floating potential at an arbitrary position in the semiconductor region 52 rises following the gate-on voltage applied to the torch gate electrode 42 and a potential barrier for hole carriers can be formed.
- hole carriers can be accumulated over a wide range of the floating semiconductor region 52, and the ON voltage can be reduced.
- the increase in the gate insulating film 48 can be suppressed as compared with the case where the trench gate electrode 46 is formed in a stripe shape. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the gate-collector capacitance due to an increase in the gate insulating film 48. As a result, even if the width of the opposing trench gate electrode 46 is reduced, the effect of reducing the ON voltage without deteriorating the switching characteristics can be obtained.
- the emitter region 31 is provided inside the trench gate electrode 46 that makes a circuit.
- the emitter region 31 is not in contact with the gate insulating film 44 of the opposed trench gate electrode 46 in the direction facing the surface of the trench gate electrode 46 that directly contacts the gate insulating film 44. Therefore, the electron carriers supplied from the emitter region 31 are supplied to the drift region 26 by using the second channel B within the looped trench gate electrode 46.
- the outside of the trench gate electrode The decontact region 34 is not provided. Therefore, the outside of the rounded trench gate electrode 46 is in a floating state, and the effect of accumulating hole carriers is large.
- the semiconductor region 52 may be provided with a portion where the impurity concentration is high and a portion where the impurity concentration is low. When turned off, the hole carrier can be discharged using the low concentration portion.
- a second electrode may be provided between the trench gate electrodes. Hole carriers can be accumulated more effectively.
- the emitter region 31 may be formed in the range indicated by L5 and L6 in the fourth embodiment. More electron carriers can be supplied inside the device.
