Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; an interlayer film on the substrate; a surface electrode on the interlayer film; a surface pad on the surface electrode; a backside electrode on the substrate; an element area including a cell portion having a vertical semiconductor element and a removal portion having multiple contact regions; and an outer periphery area. The surface electrode in the removal portion is electrically coupled with each contact region through a first contact hole in the interlayer film. The surface electrode in the cell portion is electrically coupled with the substrate through a second contact hole in the interlayer film. A part of the surface electrode in the removal portion facing each contact region is defined as a contact portion. The surface electrode includes multiple notches on a shortest distance line segment between each contact portion and the surface pad.
