Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor part, first to fourth electrodes, first and second insulating films. The semiconductor part includes a first layer of a first conductivity type and a second layer of a second conductivity type. The first and second electrodes are provided on back and front surfaces of the semiconductor part, respectively. The second layer is provided between the first layer and the second electrode. A plurality of the third electrodes extend into the first layer through the second layer. The fourth electrode extends into the first layer from the front side of the semiconductor part and surrounds the second layer. The first insulating film electrically insulates the third electrode from the semiconductor part. The second insulating film electrically insulates the fourth electrode from the semiconductor part. The second insulating film has a first thickness greater than a second thickness of the first insulating film.
