Among these, GTO in particular has been increasingly used recently because it can be turned on and off by a gate signal. G
TO is usually formed of four layers: a first emitter layer (anode), a first base layer, a second base layer (gate), and a second emitter layer (cathode), and a plurality of second emitter layers are formed by grooves. It is composed of a large number of elements divided into As a method for taking out the electrodes to the outside, a connection method using pressure contact is used. When attempting to connect a large number of elements to the outside through pressurized contact in this way, it is necessary to prevent contact failure from occurring due to uneven pressurizing contact with the large number of cathode electrodes due to warping of the semiconductor substrate, etc. There must be. This problem can be solved to some extent by using a two-layer wiring structure. An example of such a GTO is shown in FIG. The GTO substrate 11 includes a P-type first emitter layer 111, an N-type first base layer 112,
It consists of a P-type second base layer 113 and an N-type second emitter layer 114, and the second emitter layer 114 is divided into a plurality of layers by grooves formed by mesa etching. The back surface of the substrate is fixed to a support plate 15 via an anode electrode 14. On the surface of the board,
A common electrode IT is formed by forming a cathode electrode 12 and a gate electrode 13 surrounding the periphery of the cathode electrode 12 using a first layer metal, and covering the surface with, for example, a polyimide resin layer 16, and then making a contact hole in this to commonly connect the cathode electrodes 12. is formed of a second layer of metal, and its surface is pressed into contact with a metal stamp 18. (3) Problems with the conventional technology Even when using the above-mentioned two-layer wiring structure, when connections are made by pressure contact, warping that occurs on the GTO board during manufacturing cannot be fully absorbed, and partial pressure Problems arise due to the increase in gate-cathode characteristics and electrical short circuit between the gate and cathode.

In addition, in order to obtain high-speed switching characteristics, it is desirable to reduce the width of each divided emitter region to about 100 μm, but in that case, it is difficult to form the cathode electrode 12 and gate electrode 13 at the same time using the first layer metal. ,
Short circuit accidents between the gate and force sorting are likely to occur. (4) Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by improving the two-layer wiring structure in a semiconductor device having a split emitter structure and electrical connection by pressure contact, thereby improving reliability. The purpose is to improve the

The electrode is made of a first metal layer, and the first electrode is formed as a common electrode by a second metal that commonly connects each emitter region via an insulating layer on the element substrate on which the second electrode is formed. By configuring this, the above purpose is achieved.

The GTO substrate 21 is composed of a first emitter layer 211, a first base layer 212, a second base layer 213, and a second emitter layer 214. This is the same as before. The junction between the second emitter layer 214 and the second base layer 213, which are thus divided into a plurality of parts, is protected by the thermal oxide film 22. An anode electrode 23 is formed on the back surface of the GTO substrate 21 by vacuum deposition of a metal such as fart, and in this state is alloyed with an anode support plate 24. Thereafter, a contact hole for taking out an electrode is formed in the groove part and the second emitter layer 214 part of the thermal oxide film 22 by chemical etching, and after a first layer metal such as At is evaporated, the second base layer 213 in the groove part is formed by chemical etching. A gate electrode 25 is formed only in the area. Thereafter, a polyimide resin layer 26 is placed on the second emitter layer 214 to a thickness of 5 μm as an insulating layer.
It is formed to have a thickness of about 15 μm. Then, a contact hole is formed by selectively chemically etching the polyimide resin layer 26 only on the second emitter layer 214, and a cathode common electrode 27 is formed from a second layer metal such as At by vacuum evaporation or the like. 28 is a metal stamp.

In the GTO constructed in this way, the process is simple because the cathode electrode is formed of the second layer metal as a common electrode, and the process is simple, and the process is simpler than the conventional one in which the gate electrode and individual cathode electrodes are formed of the first layer metal. Compared to this, even if the cathode region width is narrow, the occurrence of a short circuit accident between the gate and the cathode can be reliably prevented.

In addition, the cathode common electrode 27 is located at a position 5 to 15 μm lower than other areas where the main current flows, and has a single layer structure, so it can sufficiently absorb local pressure increases due to substrate warping, etc. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the characteristics between the cathode and the gate and the electrical short circuit between the cathode and the gate at the time of pressurized contact of 28. Although polyimide is used as the insulator layer in the above embodiments, insulators such as silicone rubber, oxide glass, epoxy resin, etc. may also be used.

Further, each electrode is not limited to At, but may be made of other metals, and a combination of two or more metals is also possible. Furthermore, although the above embodiments have been described with reference to a GTO, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to transistors, thyristors, etc. having the same basic structure. (7) Effects of the invention In a pressure contact type semiconductor device having a split emitter structure,
Characteristic deterioration due to warping of the element substrate is prevented, and by using the cathode electrode as a common electrode made of the second layer metal, short circuits between the gate and the cathode are reliably prevented and reliability is improved.
