摘要： In a semiconductor device of the present invention, a MOS transistor is disposed in an elliptical shape. Linear regions in the elliptical shape are respectively used as the active regions, and round regions in the elliptical shape is used respectively as the inactive regions. In each of the inactive regions, a P type diffusion layer is formed to coincide with a round shape. Another P type diffusion layer is formed in a part of one of the inactive regions. These P type diffusion layers are formed as floating diffusion layers, are capacitively coupled to a metal layer on an insulating layer, and assume a state where predetermined potentials are respectively applied thereto. This structure makes it possible to maintain current performance of the active regions, while improving the withstand voltage characteristics in the inactive regions.

摘要： In a semiconductor device of the present invention, a protection diode for protecting a device is formed on an epitaxial layer formed on a substrate. A Schottky barrier metal layer is formed on a surface of the epitaxial layer and a P-type diffusion layer is formed at a lower portion of an end portion of the Schottky barrier metal layer. Then, a P-type diffusion layer is formed to be connected to a P-type diffusion layer and is extended to a cathode region. A metal layer to which an anode electrode is applied is formed above the P-type diffusion layer, thereby making it possible to obtain a field plate effect. This structure reduces a large change in a curvature of a depletion layer, thereby improving a withstand voltage characteristic of the protection diode.

摘要： In a semiconductor device of the present invention, a protection diode for protecting a device is formed on an epitaxial layer formed on a substrate. A Schottky barrier metal layer is formed on a surface of the epitaxial layer and a P-type diffusion layer is formed at a lower portion of an end portion of the Schottky barrier metal layer. Then, P-type diffusion layers are formed in a floating state closer to a cathode region side than the P-type diffusion layer, and are capacitively coupled with a metal layer to which an anode potential is applied. This structure reduces a large change in a curvature of a depletion layer, thereby improving a withstand voltage characteristic of the protection diode.

摘要： In a conventional semiconductor device, there has been a problem that, in a region where a wiring layer to which a high electric potential is applied traverses a top surface of an isolation region, the withstand voltage is deteriorated. In a semiconductor device of the present invention, an epitaxial layer is deposited on a substrate, and an LDMOSFET is formed in one region divided by an isolation region. In a region where a wiring layer connected to a drain electrode traverses a top surface of the isolation region, a conductive plate having a ground electric potential and another conductive plate in a floating state are formed under the wiring layer. With this structure, electric field is reduced in the vicinity of the isolation region under the wiring layer, whereby a withstand voltage of the LDMOSFET is increased.

摘要： A semiconductor integrated circuit device according to the present invention includes a diode in a second island region. The anode region of the diode and the dividing region in a first island region having a horizontal PNP transistor are electrically connected to each other; the cathode region of the diode and the collector region of a power NPN transistor are electrically connected to each other. Accordingly, the dividing region in the first island region having a horizontal PNP transistor becomes lower in potential than the dividing regions in the other island regions, so that the inflow of free carriers (electrons) to the horizontal PNP transistor can be prevented.
