Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a base layer that has a first conductivity type, a source layer that is formed on the base layer and has a second conductivity type, and an insulating film that is formed on the source layer. The semiconductor device further includes a plurality of gate structures that penetrate the base layer, and a plurality of conductive parts that penetrate the insulating film and the source layer and electrically connect the source layer and the base layer to each other. The gate structures are formed in a stripe shape in plan view. Parts in which the conductive portion is connected to the base layer are formed in a stripe shape in plan view, and are formed between the gate structures. Further, a dimension of the part in which the source layer and the base layer are in contact with each other between the gate structure and the conductive portion is 0.36 μm or more.
