A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a drift region, and an edge terminal structure portion provided between the active region and an end portion of the semiconductor substrate on an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The edge terminal structure portion includes a plurality of guard rings of a second conductivity type which are in contact with the upper surface, and a high concentration region of the first conductivity type which has a higher doping concentration than the drift region and is provided, between adjacent two of the guard rings, from a position shallower than lower ends of the guard rings to a position deeper than the lower ends of the guard rings. Each of the guard rings has a region that is not covered by the high concentration region as viewed from a lower surface side.

A source region of a MOSFET includes a source contact region connected to a source electrode, a source extension region adjacent to a channel region of a well region, and a source resistance control region provided between the source extension region and the source contact region. The source resistance control region includes a low concentration source resistance control region which has an impurity concentration lower than that of the source contact region or the source extension region and a high concentration source resistance control region which is formed between the well region and the low concentration source resistance control region and has an impurity concentration higher than that of the low concentration source resistance control region.
