ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the invention, there is provided a semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor element having a first main electrode, a second main electrode and a control electrode, a current flowing between the first and second main electrodes being controlled by a control signal which is input between the control electrode and the second main electrode; and a capacitor formed by providing an insulating layer between the second main electrode and the control electrode of the semiconductor element.
