Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same
Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, and a P-well and an N-type drift region disposed in the semiconductor substrate. The P-well includes a lower well region and an upper well region disposed above the lower well region. The lower well region includes a first surface that is near the N-type drift region, and the upper well region includes a second surface that is near the N-type drift region. A distance from the first surface of the lower well region to the N-type drift region is greater than a distance from the second surface of the upper well region to the N-type drift region.
