Abstract
A semiconductor device of an embodiment includes a conductive semiconductor substrate, an insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate, an overvoltage protection diode configured to be formed on the insulating film and to include an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer alternately arranged adjacent to each other, and an insulating film that covers the overvoltage protection diode. The concentration of the p-type impurities in the p-type semiconductor layer is lower than the concentration of the n-type impurities in the n-type semiconductor layer. The concentration peak of the p-type impurities is disposed in a non-boundary region between a boundary region and a boundary region.
