Abstract
A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a silicon carbide layer having a first face and a second face; a first silicon carbide region of a first conductivity type; a second silicon carbide region of a second conductivity type; a third silicon carbide region of the first conductivity type in the silicon carbide layer in this order in a direction from the second face to the first face; and a gate electrode. The first silicon carbide region includes a first region, second regions, and third regions. The second regions and the third regions are provided between the first region and the second silicon carbide region. The second regions and the third regions are alternately provided in a first direction parallel to the first face, and the first conductivity type impurity concentration of the second regions is higher than those of the first region and the third regions.
