A semiconductor device has a first region and a second region formed on a
surface of a substrate. Plural first conductors and second conductors are
formed in the first and second regions respectively. A first
semiconductor region and a second semiconductor region are formed between
adjacent first conductors. The second semiconductor region is in the
first semiconductor region and has a conductivity type opposite to that
of the first semiconductor. A third semiconductor region is formed
between adjacent second conductors. The third semiconductor region has
the same conductivity type as the second semiconductor region and is
lower in density than the second semiconductor region. The third
semiconductor region has a metal contact region for contact with a metal,
which is electrically connected to the second semiconductor region. A
center-to-center distance between adjacent first conductors is smaller
than that between adjacent second conductors.
