摘要:
A semiconductor device having a lateral semiconductor element includes a semiconductor substrate, a first electrode on the substrate, a second electrode on the substrate, and an isolation structure located in the substrate to divide the substrate into a first island and a second island electrically insulated from the first island. The lateral semiconductor element includes a main cell located in the first island and a sense cell located in the second island. The main cell causes a first current to flow between the first electrode and the second electrode so that the first current flows in a lateral direction along the surface of the substrate. The first current is detected by detecting a second current flowing though the sense cell.

A semiconductor device with a lateral element includes a semiconductor substrate, first and second electrodes on the substrate, and a resistive field plate extending from the first electrode to the second electrode. The lateral element passes a current between the first and second electrodes. A voltage applied to the second electrode is less than a voltage applied to the first electrode. The resistive field plate has a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. The second end portion is located closer to the second electrode than the first end portion. An impurity concentration in the second end portion is equal to or greater than 1×1018 cm−3.
