A voltage mitigating element mitigating a voltage applied across a gate insulating film in an off state of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is arranged to a gate electrode node of a P-channel MOS transistor provided for suppressing flow-in of holes at the time of turn-off of the IGBT. Withstanding voltage characteristics are improved and an occupation area thereof is reduced while maintaining switching characteristics and a low on-resistance of an insulated gate bipolar transistor.
