Summary:A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes: a silicon carbide layer having a first plane parallel to a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a second plane facing the first plane, the silicon carbide layer including a first trench and a second trench extending in the first direction; a gate electrode in the first trench and the second trench; a gate insulating layer; a gate wiring extending in the second direction, intersecting with the first trench and the second trench, connected to the gate electrode; a first electrode; a second electrode; and an interlayer insulating layer provided between the gate electrode and the first electrode. Neither the gate electrode nor the gate wiring is present between an end of the first trench in the first direction and the interlayer insulating layer.
