Abstract
According to one embodiment, a drive device includes a drive circuit configured to drive a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes first to fourth electrodes, a semiconductor member, and an insulating member. The semiconductor member includes first to fourth semiconductor region. The first semiconductor region includes first to third partial regions. The first semiconductor region is between the first electrode and the second semiconductor region. The third semiconductor region is between the first and second semiconductor regions. The fourth semiconductor region is between the first electrode and the first semiconductor region. The second electrode is electrically connected to the second semiconductor region. The first partial region is between the fourth semiconductor region and the third electrode. The second partial region is between the fourth semiconductor region and the fourth electrode. A part of the insulating member is provided between the semiconductor member and the third and fourth electrodes.
