A power semiconductor device is provided having a field plate that employs a thick metal film in an edge termination structure and which permits edge termination structure width reduction even with large side etching or etching variation, which exhibits superior long-term forward blocking voltage capability reliability, and which allows minimal forward blocking voltage capability variation. The edge termination structure has multiple ring-like p-type guard rings, a first insulating film covering the guard rings, and ring-like field plates, provided via the first insulating film atop the guard rings. The field plates have a polysilicon film and a thicker metal film. The polysilicon film is provided on a first guard ring via first insulating film, and a dual field plate made of the polysilicon film and metal film is provided on a second guard ring. The dual field plate is stacked via a second insulating film. The first and second guard rings alternate.
