Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor region, a second semiconductor region between a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode that is disposed apart from the first gate electrode in a first direction, third and fourth semiconductor regions provided on respective portions of the second semiconductor region, an insulating region provided between the third semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region, and an electrode provided on the third semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region and electrically connected to the third semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region. The fourth semiconductor region is parallel to the third semiconductor region in a direction intersecting the first direction. The fourth semiconductor region has an impurity concentration higher than that of the second semiconductor region. A lower end of the insulating region is positioned lower than a boundary surface of the second semiconductor region and the third semiconductor region.
