A semiconductor device includes: a transistor region including an IGBT having a gate electrode and an emitter electrode; a termination region placed around the transistor region; and an extraction region placed between the transistor and the termination region and extracting redundant carriers. A P-type layer is placed on an N-type drift layer in the extraction region. The P-type layer is connected to the emitter electrode. A dummy gate electrode is placed via an insulation film on the P-type layer. The dummy gate electrode is connected to the gate electrode. Life time of carriers in the termination region is shorter than life time of carriers in the transistor region and the extraction region. |
