First Claim
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
- a one conductivity type semiconductor substrate;
an opposite conductivity type epitaxial layer laminated on the semiconductor substrate;
a gate oxide film and a gate electrode, which are formed on the epitaxial layer;
an opposite conductivity type buried diffusion layer formed across the semiconductor substrate and the epitaxial layer;
a one conductivity type back gate diffusion layer which is formed in the epitaxial layer and overlaps with the buried diffusion layer at a bottom of the back gate diffusion layer;
an opposite conductivity type drain diffusion layer which is formed in the epitaxial layer, at least partially overlaps with the back gate diffusion layer, and allows the overlapping region to be an opposite conductivity type diffusion region;

Abstract
In a semiconductor device of the present invention, an N-type epitaxial layer 2 is deposited on a P-type substrate 1. In the epitaxial layer 2, a P-type diffusion layer 5 to be used as a back gate region is formed. An N-type diffusion layer 8 to be used as a drain region is formed so as to surround the P-type diffusion layer 5. The P-type diffusion layer 5 and the N-type diffusion layer 8 partially overlap with each other. By use of a structure described above, a distance between a drain and a source is shortened. Thus, an ON resistance value can be reduced. Moreover, since a concentration gradient can be generated in the drain region, withstand pressure characteristics can be maintained while reducing an element formation region.
