Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first electrode, a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second electrode, a gate electrode, second semiconductor regions of a second conductivity type, third semiconductor regions of the first conductivity type, and a third electrode. The second electrode is provided in a plurality in second and third directions. Each second electrode opposes a portion of the first semiconductor region in the second and third directions with an insulating layer interposed. The gate electrode is provided around each second electrode. The first semiconductor region includes first regions provided respectively around the second electrodes and the second region provided around the first regions in the second and third directions. Impurity concentration of the first conductivity type in each of the first regions is higher than impurity concentration of the first conductivity type in the second region.
