Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first electrode, first to fourth semiconductor regions, a gate electrode, and a second electrode. The third semiconductor region is located on a portion of the second semiconductor region. The fourth semiconductor region includes a first portion positioned on the third semiconductor region and a second portion arranged with the first portion in a second direction. A first-conductivity-type impurity concentration of the first portion is less than a first-conductivity-type impurity concentration of the second portion. The gate electrode faces the second semiconductor region via a gate insulating layer in the second direction. The second electrode is located on the second and fourth semiconductor regions. The second electrode contacts the first and second portions. The second electrode includes a connection part that contacts the third semiconductor region and the portion of the second semiconductor region in the second direction.
