Abstract
A gate pad includes a first portion disposed in a gate pad region and a second portion continuous with the first portion and disposed in a gate resistance region. The gate pad has a planar shape in which the second portion protrudes from the first portion. A gate polysilicon layer provided on a front surface of a semiconductor substrate via a gate insulating film is disposed between the semiconductor substrate and an interlayer insulating film, has a surface area that is at least equal to a surface area of the gate pad, and faces the gate pad in a depth direction. The gate polysilicon layer has a planar outline similar to that of the gate pad and includes continuous first and second portions, the first portion facing the first portion of the gate pad overall, and a second portion facing the second portion of the gate pad.
