A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate that has an element region and a peripheral region that surrounds the element region; and a gate pad that is disposed in an area that is on a surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The element region is formed with an insulated gate semiconductor element that has a gate electrode. The peripheral region is formed with a first withstand voltage retaining structure that surrounds the element region and a second withstand voltage retaining structure that is located in a position on the first withstand voltage retaining structure side from an outer edge of the element region and on the element region side from a boundary of the first withstand voltage retaining structure on the element region side. The gate pad is electrically connected to the gate electrode and is disposed in an area in which the second withstand voltage retaining structure is formed. |
