A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, second, third and fourth semiconductor regions of a second conductivity type, a first insulating film, a second insulating film, a first electrode contacting the first insulating film, and a second electrode contacting the second insulating film. The second and third semiconductor regions contact the first semiconductor region. The fourth semiconductor region contacts the first semiconductor region, is disposed between the second semiconductor region and the third semiconductor region. The first insulating film contacts a first portion of the first semiconductor region between the second semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region. The second insulating film contacts a second portion of the first semiconductor region between the third semiconductor region and the fourth semiconductor region. The second insulating film is thicker than the first insulating film.
