Abstract
In a semiconductor device that uses an N-channel MOS transistor as an electrostatic protection element, the N-channel MOS transistor has a plurality of electric field relaxing areas, three of which have in a longitudinal direction three different impurity concentrations decreasing from an N-type high concentration drain region downward, and three of which have in a lateral direction three different impurity concentrations decreasing from the N-type high concentration drain region toward a channel region. An electric field relaxing area that is in contact with the electric field relaxing areas in the longitudinal direction and with the electric field relaxing areas in the lateral direction has the lowest impurity concentration.
