Abstract
A semiconductor device including a semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type in a cell region, a first base layer of a second conductivity type on the semiconductor layer in the cell region; a second base layer of the second conductivity type on the semiconductor layer in an intermediate region; a conductive region of a first conductivity type in the first base layer; a gate electrode on a channel region placed between the conductive region and the semiconductor layer; a first electrode connected to the first and second base layers; a second electrode connected to the semiconductor layer; and a gate pad on the semiconductor layer via an insulating film in a pad region and connected to the gate electrode, an impurity concentration gradation in the gate pad side of the second base layer has a gentler VLD structure than an impurity concentration gradation in the first base layer.
