Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power transistor with a current detecting function for accurately detecting excess currents, and for preventing the deterioration or the destruction of the reliability of a chip. SOLUTION: An emitter electrode 1, through which main currents are flowing, is provided with an emitter bonding pad part 1a and a bonding pad part 1c for current detection separated from the emitter bonding pad part 1a by a prescribed distance. Also, a wiring part 1b for current detection as a resistance for current detection for connecting the emitter bonding pad part 1a with the bonding pad part 1c for current detection is provided in a region, in which when excess currents are flowing through the emitter electrode 1, currents tend be concentrated easily, and temperature can be made higher than the other region.
