Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first electrode, a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type, a third semiconductor region of the second conductivity type, and a second electrode. The third semiconductor region is located on the second semiconductor region, and has a higher second-conductivity-type impurity concentration than the second semiconductor region. The second electrode is located on the third semiconductor region. The second electrode includes a first part and a second part. The first part is located in the second semiconductor region. The second part is positioned on the first part, and contacts the third semiconductor region in a second direction perpendicular to a first direction from the first electrode toward the first semiconductor region. A length of the first part is greater than a length of the second part in the second direction.
