A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor part including a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type; a first electrode provided on a back surface of the semiconductor part; and a second electrode provided on a front surface of the semiconductor part. The second electrode includes a barrier layer and a metal layer. The barrier layer contacts the first semiconductor layer and including vanadium or a vanadium compound as a major component. The metal layer is provided on the barrier layer.

Semiconductor device

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device manufacturing method includes: forming a film to be a first metal layer on a substrate where an element portion is formed; forming a first insulating layer provided with an opening on the film to be the first metal layer; forming a second metal layer in the opening of the first insulating layer; eliminating the first insulating layer; eliminating the film to be the first metal layer with the second metal layer used as a mask so as to form the first metal layer; and forming an electrode portion by covering exposed surfaces of the first metal layer and the second metal layer with a third metal layer including a metal of a smaller ionization tendency than the metal of the second metal layer.
