Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor device having an ESD protection diode and a vertical MOSFET in which desired ESD tolerance is obtained without reducing the active region size or increasing the chip size. The semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a drain region and a source region in the substrate; a base region between the drain region and the source region; a gate electrode comprising a first polysilicon layer, and being in contact with the base region across a gate insulating film so that a channel is formed in the base region; and a bidirectional diode in which the gate electrode, a second polysilicon layer, and a third polysilicon layer are arranged in the stated order in a direction perpendicular to a front surface of the substrate.
