Disclosed is a technique capable of reducing loss at the time of switching in a diode. A diode disclosed in the present specification includes a cathode electrode, a cathode region made of a first conductivity type semiconductor, a drift region made of a low concentration first conductivity type semiconductor, an anode region made of a second conductivity type semiconductor, an anode electrode made of metal, a barrier region formed between the drift region and the anode region and made of a first conductivity type semiconductor having a concentration higher than that of the drift region, and a pillar region formed so as to connect the barrier region to the anode electrode and made of a first conductivity type semiconductor having a concentration higher than that of the barrier region. The pillar region and the anode are connected through a Schottky junction. |
