Abstract

An insulated gate bipolar transistor according to an embodiment includes a first conductive type collector ion implantation area in a substrate; a second conductive type buffer layer, including a first segment buffer layer and a second segment buffer layer, on the first conductive collector ion implantation area; a first conductive type base area on the second conductive type buffer layer; a gate on the substrate at a side of the first conductive type base area; a second conductive type emitter ion implantation area in the first conductive type base area; an insulating layer on the gate; an emitter electrode electrically connected to the second conductive type emitter ion implantation area; and a collector electrode electrically connected to the first conductive collector ion implantation area. The first segment buffer layer can be aligned below a portion of the base area and can have a lower density of second conductive type ions than that of the second segment buffer layer adjacent the first segment buffer layer.
