In a plan view, the first and second element regions are adjacent to each other with the gate wiring between the first and second element regions. A first electrode including the gate electrode of each first unit cell is disposed in the first element region and electrically connected to the gate. A second electrode including the gate electrode of each second unit cell is disposed in the second element region and not electrically connected to the gate. The first and second electrodes are separated below the gate wiring.
