Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element and a control device. The semiconductor element includes a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type, a third semiconductor region of the first conductivity type, a conductive portion, and a gate electrode. In a first operation, the control device changes a potential of the conductive portion from a first potential to a second potential. In a second operation, the control device changes a potential of the gate electrode from a third potential to a fourth potential. In a third operation, the control device changes the potential of the gate electrode from the fourth potential to the third potential. In a fourth operation, the control device changes the potential of the conductive portion from the second potential to the first potential after the third operation.

Claim (Index 3):
The device according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the semiconductor elements,\n the plurality of semiconductor elements including a first semiconductor element and a second semiconductor element, the control device being electrically connected to the conductive portion and the gate electrode of the first semiconductor element and to the conductive portion and the gate electrode of the second semiconductor element, before the first operation, the second operation, the third operation, and the fourth operation, the control device performing another second operation of switching the second semiconductor element to the on-state by changing the potential of the gate electrode of the second semiconductor element from the third potential to the fourth potential, and\n another third operation of switching the second semiconductor element to the off-state after the other second operation by changing the potential of the gate electrode of the second semiconductor element from the fourth potential to the third potential.
