P-type doped structure is in the N-type doped structure connecting with anode. The substrate, the N-type doped structure and the P-type doped structure form a PNP path along a perpendicular direction to the substrate, wherein NP provide bootstrap diode function and surround the high-side circuit at a horizontal direction. N-type cathode structure is in the epitaxial layer. N-type epitaxial doped region contacts with the substrate, between the PNP path and the N-type cathode structure, also surrounding the high-side circuit. Gate structure is over the N-type epitaxial doped region, between the P-type doped structure and N-type cathode structure. P-type base doped structure is in the epitaxial layer adjacent to the N-type doped structure, to provide a substrate voltage to the substrate.
