Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor region of first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of second conductivity type, a third semiconductor region of second conductivity type, a first electrode, a fourth semiconductor region of second conductivity type, a fifth semiconductor region of first conductivity type, a gate electrode, a sixth semiconductor region of second conductivity type, and second and third electrodes. The second and third semiconductor regions are formed below the first semiconductor region. A second conductivity type carrier concentration of the third semiconductor region is lower than that of the second semiconductor region. The gate electrode faces the fourth semiconductor region. The sixth semiconductor region is formed above the first semiconductor region and is located above the third semiconductor region. The second electrode is electrically connected to the third electrode and extends alongside the sixth semiconductor region with the first insulating layer interposed therebetween.
