In general, according to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first electrode, a first and a second semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a third semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, a fourth semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type in this order. A device region includes a gate electrode inside a first trench. A second trench having a ring-shaped structure forms a first region penetrating through the fourth and third semiconductor layers to the second semiconductor layer and including the device region inside and a second region surrounding the first region outside. A first opening is provided between adjacent ones of the first trenches. A second opening having a wider width than the first opening is provided in the first region outside the device region. A second electrode is electrically connected to the third and fourth semiconductor layers through the first and second openings. |
