The applied voltage is divided in both the directions and a high breakdown voltage can be obtained.

A source layer of the second conduction type is formed in the surface of the semiconductor layer at a position adjacent to the LDD layer.

The peak of the first impurity concentration is smaller than the peak of the second impurity concentration.
