Abstract

To mitigate adverse effects on a surface electrode of a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes: a first well region formed in a surface layer of an upper surface of a drift layer; a gate electrode; a second well region surrounding the first well region as seen in plan view; and a gate portion covering an interlayer insulation film and the gate electrode exposed from the interlayer insulation film. An outside edge portion of the gate electrode is farther from the first well region than an outside edge portion of the gate portion and closer to the first well region than an outside edge portion of the second well region.
