Abstract
A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a semiconductor layer having a first plane and a second plane; a first and a second electrode; first, second, and third semiconductor regions; first and second gate electrodes in the semiconductor layer; first and second gate insulating films; and an insulating layer provided between the first and second gate electrodes and the first electrode. The first electrode has a first region and a second region. The first region contacts the semiconductor layer. The first region is located between the second region and the first semiconductor region. A first part of the first region is located between the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode. A second part of the first region is interposed between a first portion and a second portion of the insulating layer. The second part of the first region has an inverse tapered shape.
