Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the semiconductor device having an equal switching speed to a circuit provided with a diode outside by a method wherein only the formation of a diode region for acceleration is supplemented to the formation process of the usual Darlington connection circuit element. CONSTITUTION:A P type common base layer 2 is provided in an N type common collector layer 1, N type emitter layers 3, 4, 13 are formed respectively, regions 5, 6 are formed as the resistors R1, R2, and the diode D1 is formed by the P-N junction 7. A P type layer 14 is diffused in the N type layer 13, and distribution of impurity concentration of the P type layer 14 is suppressed lower than the N type layer 13. Accordingly the current amplification factor of a parasitic P-N-P element consisting of the layers 14-13-2 is extremely low enabling to prevent transistor action completely, and the P-N junction consisting of the layers 14-13 acts as the diode. By this constitution, the semiconductor device having the built-in diode D2 and having the high switching speed and high reliability can be obtained.

In the conventional Darlington connection circuit configured in this way, when the base and emitter are reversely connected (earthed) during switching operation (from ON to oyy), Trl
is in the OFF state, and no current flows between the base and emitter of Trt, so the carriers accumulated in the base region of Tr2 are released only gradually through the resistor R1 to the base electrode. When R1 is large, the carrier release rate is low and the accumulated carriers remain in the base region for a relatively long time. As a result, the switching speed becomes slow. In order to improve the above drawback, diode D2 is connected to Txl as shown in Figure 3.
There is a known method of inserting it between the emitter and base of.
