  • Patent number: 9741788
    Abstract: A semiconductor includes an N-type impurity region provided in a substrate. A P-type RESURF layer is provided at a top face of the substrate in the N-type impurity region. A P-well has an impurity concentration higher than that of the P-type RESURF layer, and makes contact with the P-type RESURF layer at the top face of the substrate in the N-type impurity region. A first high-voltage-side plate is electrically connected to the N-type impurity region, and a low-voltage-side plate is electrically connected to a P-type impurity region. A lower field plate is capable of generating a lower capacitive coupling with the substrate. An upper field plate is located at a position farther from the substrate than the lower field plate, and is capable of generating an upper capacitive coupling with the lower field plate whose capacitance is greater than the capacitance of the lower capacitive coupling.
