Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first electrode, a first semiconductor region connected to the first electrode and being of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region provided on the first semiconductor region, contacting the first semiconductor region and being of a second conductivity type, first metal layers and second metal layers provided on the second semiconductor region and contacting the second semiconductor region, a third semiconductor region provided between the first semiconductor region and the first metal layer, and a second electrode. The third semiconductor region contacts the first and second semiconductor regions and being of the first conductivity type. An impurity concentration of the third semiconductor region is greater than an impurity concentration of the first semiconductor region. The second electrode contacts the first semiconductor region, the second semiconductor region, the first metal layers, and the second metal layers.
