1. A semiconductor device, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a first semiconductor layer provided on the semiconductor substrate;
a second semiconductor layer provided on the first semiconductor layer;
a first electrode provided on the second semiconductor layer;
a second electrode provided to be arranged with the first electrode along a front surface of the second semiconductor layer;
a third electrode provided between the first electrode and the second electrode on the second semiconductor layer;
a metal layer provided on a back surface of the semiconductor substrate at a side opposite to the first semiconductor layer; and
a conductor extending inside the semiconductor substrate,
the conductor electrically connecting the first electrode and the metal layer via the second semiconductor layer,
the second semiconductor layer including
a first region including a first-conductivity-type impurity, and
a second region including a first-conductivity-type impurity with a higher concentration than the first-conductivity-type impurity of the first region,
the second region of the second semiconductor layer being provided between the conductor and the first electrode.
