A semiconductor device having a wide depletion region for increasing the breakdown voltage of the device includes an epitaxial layer of a first conductive type. An anode electrode and a cathode electrode are arranged on the epitaxial layer to be separated from each other. A first drift layer of the first conductive type formed in the epitaxial layer. A Schottky contact area is at a region of contact between the anode electrode and the first drift layer. An impurity region of a second conductive type is different from the first conductive type at the epitaxial layer. An insular impurity region is formed below the Schottky contact area.

A semiconductor device may include a semiconductor substrate, a first conductive type well and a second conductive type drift region in the semiconductor substrate, the drift region including a first drift doping region and a second drift doping region, the second drift doping region vertically overlapping the well, and a first conductive type body region in the well, the body region being in contact with a side of the first drift doping region. The first drift doping region and the second doping region may include a first conductive type dopant and a second conductive type dopant, and an average density of the first conductive type dopant in the first drift doping region may be less than an average density of the first conductive type dopant in the second drift doping region.

Method of forming semiconductor device

A semiconductor device includes a gate pattern over source and drain regions. The gate pattern includes a first gate adjacent the source region and a second gate adjacent the drain region. A concentration of dopants in the first gate is higher than a concentration of dopants in the second gate. As a result, channels are produced between the source and drain regions based on different threshold voltages.
