A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. According to this method, a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode are formed overlying a first portion of a silicon substrate, and ions of a first conductivity-type are implanted into a second portion of the silicon substrate to define a first conductivity-type diode region within the silicon substrate. Ions of a second conductivity-type are implanted into a third portion of the silicon substrate to define a second conductivity-type diode region within the silicon substrate. During one of the steps of implanting ions of the first conductivity-type and implanting ions of the second conductivity-type, ions are also implanted into at least part of the first portion to define a separation region within the first portion. The separation region splits the first portion into a first well device region and a second well device region. The separation region is formed in series between the first well device region and the second well device region.
