  • Patent number: 11527449
    Abstract: A semiconductor apparatus includes: a semiconductor substrate; a diffusion layer; a first depletion prevention region; a channel stopper electrode, a monitor electrode and an insulating film. The inner edge portion of the monitor electrode is positioned between the diffusion layer and the first depletion prevention region. A distance between the outer edge portion of the channel stopper electrode and the inner edge portion of the monitor electrode is a first distance. A distance between the diffusion layer and the first depletion prevention region is a second distance. The first and second distances are set so that a discharge voltage between the channel stopper electrode and the monitor electrode becomes greater than an avalanche breakdown voltage at a PN junction portion of the diffusion layer and the semiconductor substrate.
