Zusammenfassung:A semiconductor device includes a collector layer, a base layer, and an emitter layer that are disposed above a substrate. An emitter mesa layer is disposed on a partial region of the emitter layer. In a plan view, the base electrode is disposed in or on a region which does not overlap the emitter mesa layer. The base electrode allows base current to flow to the base layer. In the plan view, a first edge forming part of edges of the emitter mesa layer extends in a first direction, and a second edge forming part of edges of the base electrode faces the first edge. A gap between the first edge and the second edge in a terminal portion located in an end portion of the emitter mesa layer in the first direction is wider than a gap in an intermediate portion of the emitter mesa layer.
