A semiconductor device comprises an element region and a terminal region that surrounds the element region. The semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor region having a first conductivity type and a second semiconductor region having a second conductivity type and provided on the first semiconductor region. A third semiconductor region having the first conductivity type is provided on the second semiconductor region. A first electrode is electrically connected to the first semiconductor region. A second electrode is electrically connected to the third semiconductor region. A third and a fourth electrode are disposed in the element region. A distance from the first electrode to the third electrode is less than a distance from the first electrode to the fourth electrode.
