Semiconductor Device

摘要

A semiconductor device includes: a p-type semiconductor layer; an n-type semiconductor layer; a first electrode layer; a second electrode layer; and a control electrode layer. The first and second electrode layers are electrically connected such as to each operate at an identical potential. The first electrode layer is connected with a part of a surface of the second electrode layer which is opposite to a surface of the second electrode layer that is in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer. The second electrode layer is connected with a connection line which is a part of a peripheral line of a joint interface between the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type semiconductor layer on an interface side between the second electrode layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, and is formed to be extended to a position on a control electrode layer side of the connection line.
