One of the aspects of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device, which includes a semiconductor layer of a first conductive type having first and second surfaces. The semiconductor layer includes a base region of a second conductive type formed in the first surface and an emitter region of the first conductive type formed in the base region. Also, the semiconductor device includes a buffer layer of the first conductive type formed on the second surface of the semiconductor layer, and a collector layer of the second conductive type formed on the buffer layer. The buffer layer has a maximal concentration of the first conductive type impurity therein of approximately 5x1015 cm-3 or less, and the collector layer has a maximal concentration of the second conductive type impurity therein of approximately 1x1017 cm-3 or more. Further, the ratio of the maximal concentration of the collector layer to the maximal concentration of the buffer layer being greater than 100. The collector layer has a thickness of approximately 1 mum or less.
