    摘要: A level shift circuit and a semiconductor device are configured to prevent failure and malfunction even when an excessive negative voltage or ESD surge are applied to a high-voltage power supply terminal. The level shift circuit includes a level shift resistor, a current-limiting resistor connected in series to the level shift resistor, and an n-channel MOSFET, with its drain connected to the current-limiting resistor. An output of the level-up circuit is obtained from the positioned between the level shift resistor and the current-limiting resistor. By providing the current-limiting resistor, the current that flows due to an excessive negative voltage or ESD surge is suppressed to prevent the level shift circuit from failing or malfunctioning.

    摘要: The shape of a tip of an insulating material of an insulating isolation region is provided as being a concave one recessed below the back surface of an n-semiconductor substrate. This reduces the electric field strength at the corner at which the bottom of the n-semiconductor substrate is in contact with the insulating isolation region to allow an excellent breakdown voltage to be obtained. Moreover, by forming a high impurity concentration region such as a field-stop layer on the back surface of the n-semiconductor substrate, a depletion layer extending from the top surface is prevented from reaching the back surface This eliminates an influence of a surface state introduced in the interface between the insulator film formed on the back surface and the n-semiconductor substrate, by which an excellent breakdown voltage can be obtained.

    摘要: To prevent the destruction of a semiconductor element due to negative resistance, and to reduce the dynamic resistance of a static electricity prevention diode, the ratio of the maximum electric field intensity during an avalanche and the average electric field in a strong electric field region, as well as the impurity density gradient in the vicinity of the strong electric field region are optimized. During avalanche breakdown, a depletion layer is formed across the entire high resistivity region, and its average electric field is kept to ½ or more of the maximum electric field intensity. The density gradients (the depths and impurity densities) of a p+ region and of an n+ region that form a p-n junction of the diode are controlled so that the density gradient in the neighborhood of the high resistivity region does not have negative resistance with respect to increase of the avalanche current.

    摘要: A semiconductor device is configured to prevent destruction of elements and/or miss-operation of the circuit by parasitic effects produced by parasitic transistors when a MOSFET of a bridge circuit is formed on a single chip. A Schottky junction is formed by providing an anode electrode in an n well region where a source region, a drain region, and a p well region of a lateral MOSFET. A Schottky barrier diode constituting a majority carrier device is connected in parallel with a PN junction capable of being forward-biased so that the PN junction is not forward-biased so that minority carriers are not generated, and thereby suppressing parasitic effects.
